Figure Lengend Snippet: A–D Results of macromolecular biosynthesis assay. Inhibition of biosynthetic pathway is indicated by lower incorporation of radioactively labeled precursors. A [ 3 H] N -acetylglucosamine (peptidoglycan synthesis), B [ 3 H] uridine (RNA synthesis), C [ 3 H] thymidine (DNA synthesis) and D [ 3 H] leucine (protein synthesis) in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 43300) strain, treated for 2 h with 4 × MIC of VAN, RIF, CIP, CHL, CHX, and AB15. Results are expressed as the percentage of biomolecule incorporation related to untreated controls. The values shown are means of two independent experiments prepared in duplicates ± SEM. Significant reduction in biosynthetic pathway compared to control is indicated by p -value, where p < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001), determined by nonparametric one-way (ANOVA) test (Kruskal–Wallis test)
Article Snippet: As shown in Fig. , the action of AB15 resulted in a statistically significant decrease in the incorporation of radiolabeled precursors participating in the protein synthesis pathway (Fig. D) of the reference bacterial strain MRSA (ATCC 43300) (used according to a protocol described in Nowakowska et al., 2013) [ ].
