Figure 10

FT-IR spectra of MRSA-44 (a) and MSSA-A8 (b) treated with CAB-E2 and E4. The regions showing maximum variation were taken for analysis: (1) 3500–3100 cm−1: hydration of bacterial cells; (2) 3050–2700 cm−1: fatty acids in the bacterial cell membrane; (3) 1700–1600 cm−1: amide linkage from proteins and peptides; (4) 1500–1000 cm−1: mixed region, proteins, and fatty acids.
