Changes of relative values of protein peak after incubation of the enterococcal strains with ketamine. Group A+: strains increasing proliferation when cultured with ketamine; group B+ strains inhibited by ketamine; group A and B – strains cultured without ketamine. Grey bars: peaks typical for Enterococcus faecalis according to Stępień-Pyśniak D et al. [24]. Dark grey bars: the highest protein peak for all the measurements, considered as baseline for observed levels in other protein peaks (group A and B) and after the exposure to ketamine (group A+ and B+). Green color underlines the increase of peak value; the red color indicates decreased or missing peak when compared to strains not exposed to ketamine
