Figure Lengend Snippet: MICs for selected antibiotics against virulent C. burnetii in A-498 host cells. C. burnetii strains ( A ) NMI, ( B ) HPF-GA1, ( C ) CM-SC1, and ( D ) GP-CO1 were cultured in A-498 cells in the presence of increasing concentrations of antibiotics to determine the MIC. Data displayed are the mean log 10 genome equivalent per well ± SEM at 7 (for NMI and HPF-GA1) and 14 (for CM-SC1 and GP-CO1) days post-exposure for each antibiotic at the respective concentration. The MIC was determined as the lowest concentration of antibiotic required to significantly inhibit growth of C. burnetii . Significant inhibition of growth was determined relative to DMSO solvent controls using one-way analysis of variance with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons post hoc test of log 10 transformed data. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001, **** P < 0.0001.
