Evaluations of the Effects of Extremely Low-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on Growth and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Figure 3
ELF-EMF (sinusoidal wave; 2 mT; 50 Hz) influenced the growth rate of E. coli (a) and P. aeruginosa (b) when incubated in the presence of subinhibitory concentration of kanamycin and amikacin, respectively. ELF-EMF-KAN: ELF-EMF exposed groups incubated in the presence of 1 μg/mL kanamycin; Ctr-KAN: control groups incubated in the presence of 1 μg/mL kanamycin; ELF-EMF-AMK: ELF-EMF exposed groups incubated in the presence of 0.5 μg/mL amikacin; Ctr-AMK: control groups incubated in the presence of 0.5 μg/mL amikacin. Data represent means ± SEM from 3 different experiments. * (one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test).
