Fig. 6From: A synthetic peptide sensitizes multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibiotics for more than two hours and permeabilizes its envelope for twenty hoursAtomic Force Microscopy images of the surface topography of P. aeruginosa cells adsorbed onto glass. Ps4 cells were incubated in MH medium without (a) or with (b-e) antimicrobial agent at twice the MIC for 1 h and visualized either immediately after removal of the agent (b; PMB treated control; c, P4–9 treated cell) or after 1 h (d) or 2 h (e) of growth at 37 °C in fresh medium free from antimicrobial agent. Cells selected for the analysis had features representative of those observed in 3 different low magnification fields (n = 10 to 20 cells)Back to article page
