Fig. 1From: Assessment of free fatty acids and cholesteryl esters delivered in liposomes as novel class of antibioticMinimal bactericidal concentration of liposomal formulations in comparison with their minimal inhibitory concentration. Modified minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay (square symbols, left y-axis) was performed with S. epidermidis followed by determination of minimal bactericidal concentration (round symbols, right y-axis). Test lipids were a palmitic acid prepared in carrier-4 (PA4); b stearic acid prepared in carrier 4 (SA4); and c cholesteryl linoleate prepared in carrier-3 (CL3). RFU relative fluorescence units. Dotted line bacterial inoculum (CFU/mL). Shown are means of two experiments conducted in duplicatesBack to article page
