Lysozyme MIC levels of autolysin and capsule mutant strains.

<p>Strain 10 (wild type), strain 10-LysR-1, 10-LysR-2, 10-Δ0475, 10-Δ<i>cps2EF</i> and 10-LysR-2-<i>cps2E</i> were spotted onto Colombia agar plates containing two-fold increasing concentrations of lysozyme. Growth was assessed 24 h later and MICs were determined. Values represent three independent observations. No error bars are displayed since the MIC values were identical in replicate experiments.
