dc.description.abstractWe 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.
