Membrane permeabilizationColistin, a known membrane displacement agent, was used as a positive control and rapidly led to depolarization of the cytoplasmic membrane of P. aeruginosa, as determined by high fluorescence levels (Fig. 2). At the MIC (11.8 mM), CAD gave similar results to colistin (Fig. 2). The result for CAD at 5.9 mM was similar to that for the untreated control. Thus, it was concluded that CAD depolarized the cytoplasmic membrane of P. aeruginosa at the MIC, but not at a sub-MIC (5.9 mM).
