Fig. 4

Comparison of MIC value between WT, SCVs, and RVT phenotypes. The MIC distributions of the MAC WT, SCVs, and RVT strains for 18 antimicrobial drugs are presented. Each dot represents the MIC for a single strain. The dashed lines represent the susceptibility breakpoints according to the CLSI and previous studies. Statistical significance was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test (* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001)
