SOS induction measurements by flow cytometry was performed as previously described [17 (link),18 (link),25 (link)]. Briefly, overnight cultures were diluted 100-fold in MH or MH supplemented with subMIC tobramycin (0.02 μg/mL), subMIC ciprofloxacin (0.005 μg/mL) and/or AI-2 (10 μM) and were incubated overnight at 37 °C. Fluorescence was then measured in 100,000 cells on the Miltenyi MACSquant device. The fluorescence values in each condition were normalized to the fluorescence values obtained in MH.
