The employed strains, A. Baumannii strains A1 (minocycline-sensitive strain), A163 (minocycline-mediated strain), and A156 (minocycline-resistant strain), were clinically isolated from Zhangjiagang people’s hospital, Xuyi hospital, and Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University, respectively and preserved in the pathogenic microbiology laboratory of Yangzhou University while the strains were grown in Mueller–Hinton (MH) broth or on MH agar. Metformin were obtained from Macklin (Shanghai,China), minocycline were obtained form Solarbio (Beijing, China), other antibiotics were obtained from Sangon Biotech (Shanghai, China).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
