Figure 2: Graphical representation of antibiotic efficacy against Black Widow fang bacteria. The 8 isolated bacteria were ranked by pathogenicity and given an arbitrary numerical value starting with 2.0 (for the most pathogenic) and decreasing in increments of 0.2 for each subsequent species. An efficacy score was calculated for each antibiotic by summing the pathogenicity scores for all bacteria the antibiotic was efficacious against, then subtracting the score for any bacteria resistant to that antibiotic and subtracting half the score for any bacteria that showed intermediate resistance. Finally, a confidence interval was calculated by adding the pathogenicity scores for all the bacteria not tested against that particular antibiotic.
