To accurately compare the oxidative stress responses of the different strains, two-fold serial dilutions of the drugs were prepared in MMH using 2 mL Eppendorf tubes, then dispensed in a 96 well plate (100 µL/well). Exponential phase bacteria diluted to a OD600nm of 0.2 were then added (100 µL) in the wells containing drug dilutions. Posititive (without drug) and negative (without bacteria) controls were also included. Following 1 h incubation at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator without shaking, 3 μL aliquots were spotted PVX-CHA plates further incubated at 37 °C for 48 h to 72 h before being photographed. All strains were processed in parallel in each experiment which included two independent replicates spotted twice.
