Abstract
We would like to thank Dr. Datta for his interest in our article. Dr. Datta wishes to defend the static vs. cidal antibiotic model against “absolutist framing.” He invokes “mono-parametric” assays like “MBC/MIC ratios or…reactive oxygen species generation” to suggest that in vitro static vs. cidal phenomenology may be phenotypically real.
