RAD51 and hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy: Fig 6 depicts a significant ~30-fold reduction in CIP persistence in stationary-phase cultures of ΔrecA compared to WT, whereas loss of recA had a negligible impact on CIP persistence in exponential-phase. Collectively, these results demonstrate that observations made with CIP were consistent with those using LEV, another FQ, and that the selective importance of recA to CIP persistence in stationary-phase, which we initially observed with P. aeruginosa PAO1, was also present in a recent, unrelated clinical isolate.
