Figure Lengend Snippet: Origins of the TLC assay. (A) Lane 1: mutacin 1140 and lipid II, 12:1 ratio; lane 2: salivaricin A2 and lipid II, 12:1 ratio; lane 3: salivaricin A2 and lipid II, 24:1 ratio; lane 4: vancomycin and lipid II, 12:1 ratio; lane 5: digested salivaricin A2 and lipid II, 24:1 ratio. (B) Lane 1: lipid II; lane 2: mutacin 1140; lane 3: salivaricin A2; lane 4: vancomycin; lane 5: digested salivaricin A2. Binding of lipid II keeps lipid II at the origin. Panel B serves as negative controls, showing no staining of the peptides or lipid II at the origin. Lipid II and mutacin 1140 were used as a positive control for retaining lipid II at the origin, while lipid II and vancomycin were used as a negative control.
Article Snippet: Further studies aimed at identifying the differences in the strains may help promote a better understanding of the antibiotic's mechanism of action as well as the differences in sensitivity. table ft1 table-wrap mode="anchored" t5 TABLE 3 caption a7 Bacterial strain Mutacin 1140 Salivaricin A2 MIC (μg/ml) MLC (μg/ml) MIC (μg/ml) MLC (μg/ml) M. luteus ATCC 10240 0.0625 0.0625 2 2 C. accolens ATCC 49725 0.125 0.125 8 8 C. accolens KPL 1818 0.125 0.125 16 32 C. accolens KPL 2060 0.0625 0.0625 8 16 C. accolens KPL 2061 0.25 0.25 16 32 C. pseudodiphtheriticum KPL 1989 0.125 0.125 8 8 C. striatum KPL 1959 0.5 1 32 32 C. accolens KPL 1855 1 1 16 32 S. pneumoniae ATCC 27336 0.5 0.5 32 32 S. pneumoniae AI8 a 1 1 32 32 S. pneumoniae AI11 a 1 1 16 16 S. pneumoniae AI14 a 0.125 0.125 32 32 S. pneumoniae AI6 1 1 128 128 S. pneumoniae AI7 0.25 0.25 128 128 S. mutans JH1140 8 8 >128 >128 S. salivarius HS0302 0.5 0.5 64 128 B. subtilis PY79 8 8 >128 >128 B. megaterium ATCC 14581 8 8 >128 >128 S. epidermidis ERIN 30713 4 8 >128 >128 S. aureus ATCC 25923 4 4 >128 >128 E. faecalis ERIN 30002 16 32 >128 >128 Open in a separate window a MICs for the S. pneumoniae strains were tested in the presence of 5% human blood to promote growth.
