We found a high prevalence of isolates resistant to nalidixic acid but no full resistance against ciprofloxacin, and only 2% of isolates being intermediate over the whole study period.
Although the difference between specific responses in the two resistant genotypes was large, both still display full resistance against the pathogen and initiate similar macroscopic HR in detached leaf assays [ 34].
We have assumed the shortest genetic distance possible between wildtype and fully drug resistant mutants (one mutation is sufficient to create full resistance against a single drug, three distinct mutations are required for full resistance against a triple-drug combination).
Full resistance and intermediate resistance, as defined by NCCLS, were both considered "resistant" for the purposes of presentation and statistical analysis.
But put together, they achieve something close to full resistance.
All of these isolates expressed full resistance to imipenem (MIC > 32 mg/L).
ProA-Xa21 homozygous rice lines confer full resistance to the Xoo strain PXO99A (Chen et al. 2010).
We found that the T1 plants segregated with partial resistance in some segregants and typical full resistance in others.
The leaves from Kitaake displayed the full susceptibility to Xoo (A) whereas the leaves from ProA-Xa21 displayed full resistance to Xoo (B).
The segregants carrying Xa21 but lacking of XIK1Ri confer full resistance to Xoo as do the wild type Xa21 plants (Additional file 3: Figure S3D).
Plastic design allows the exploitation of the full resistance of steel structures by taking advantage of stress redistributions due to plastic strains exceeding the yield strain.
