Fig. 1

Avibactam lowers MIC of piperacillin for M. abscessus. A broth dilution assay was performed using 5*103 CFU of a luminescent M. abscessus mutant with serial 1:2 dilutions of meropenem (50 to 0 mg/L), piperacillin (800 to 0 mg/L) and ampicillin (200 to 0 mg/L) alone or with the addition of 4 mg/L of avibactam. Image showing luminescence demonstrated by IVIS® following 72 h of incubation. Mero – meropenem, pip – piperacillin, amp – ampicillin, avi – avibactam. Dotted white line borders the test area. White numbers show mero/pip/amp concentrations
