Fig. 2From: Increased ompW and ompA expression and higher virulence of Acinetobacter baumannii persister cellsDifferential expression of adeB, ompA, and ompW in Acinetobacter baumannii regular and persister cells. rpoB was used as the control gene in quantitative real-time PCR analysis. Values represent the means of three experimental replicates from three independent experiments. The y-axis represents the fold difference of each gene to the threshold cycle (CT) values, whereas the x-axis indicates the time points of meropenem exposure. Asterisks indicate significant differences between the 0 and 48-h time points after meropenem exposure, as determined by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison test (p-value < 0.05)Back to article page
