Figure Lengend Snippet: Antimicrobial resistance profiles of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Acinetobacter spp. against broad-spectrum antibiotic isolated from healthcare workers' mobile phones at outpatient clinics

Article Snippet: Each isolate was tested against eight broad-spectrum standard antibiotic discs (Thermo Scientific Oxoid, USA): tobramycin (10 μg), cefotaxime (30 μg), ciprofloxacin (5 μg), ceftriaxone (30 μg), imipenem (10 μg), gentamicin (10 μg), ceftazidime (30 μg) and aztreonam (30 μg).

Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression level of smeD , smeF , and smeV genes in Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains. ( A – C ) smeD , smeF , and smeV expression level and distribution of ciprofloxacin MICs, ( D – F ) smeD , smeF , and smeV expression level and distribution of levofloxacin MICs, ( G ) the mean expression level of smeD , smeF , and smeV genes among the S. maltophilia isolates. Red lines showing the mean ± SD for each group and the dash line indicates the level of gene expression above which overexpression is considered, *expression level of smeD (p = 0.01) and smeF (p = 0.003) genes was significantly associated with the reduced MICs of ciprofloxacin, **the corelation of smeV expression level with the MICs of both ciprofloxacin (p = 0.000) and levofloxacin (p = 0.03) was significant.
