Effect of Mdc on the membrane permeability of A. baumannii GIM1.650 analyzed by the flow cytometer. The relative fluorescence intensities within the P3 regions were taken as PI-positive cells. (a) Untreated cells control, (b) cells treated with 4 μg/mL Mdc at 37°C for 1 hour, (c) dead control (cells heated at 70°C), (d) percentage of cells stained with propidium iodide (PI), and (e) kinetics of Mdc membrane permeability against A. baumannii.
