Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Native B. thuringiensis strain VKK-BB2 (GenBank accession number KT714045) was retrieved from the bacterial stock of Insect Physiology and Molecular Biology Laboratory, Division of Entomology, IARI, New Delhi which was originally isolated from the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae (Mandla et al. 2017) . The BtVKK-BB2 strain was found to be the most potential out of 12 native strains screened against neonate of BSFB (data not shown here). Thus, BtVKK-BB2 strain was selected for gfp tagging through electroporation. This strain is resistant to ampicillin and penicillin therefore maintained on Luria Bertani agar (LA) supplemented with ampicillin and penicillin (HiMedia Laboratories Pvt Ltd, India) at 50 µg/ml at 30 °C. The Escherichia coli harboring pCAMBIA1302 plasmid (Fig. 1) was grown in Luria Bertani broth (LB) supplemented with 50 µg/ml kanamycin (HiMedia Laboratories Pvt Ltd, India) at 37 °C.

Enterococcus Antibiotic Susceptibility Patterns

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The present study was conducted at Vinayaka Mission's Medical College and Hospitals, Salem Institutional Ethical Committee (IEC) Clearance (MICROBIOLOGY/Ph.D/01/2015) was obtained prior to this study A total of 1200 clinical samples received at the Department of Microbiology for routine culture and sensitivity were included. A total of 774 isolates of Enterococci obtained from 1200 clinical samples were processed for species identification and antimicrobial sensitivity testing. Identification of isolates to the species level was performed by the sugar utilization test using brain heart infusion broth incorporated with 1% sugar and bromothymol blue indicator.[9 (link)] Isolates of Enterococci were subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing by the Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method as per Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines[10 ] using the following drugs: penicillin (10 U), erythromycin (15 μg), high-level gentamicin (120 μg), linezolid (30 μg), teicoplanin (30 μg), ciprofloxacin (5 μg), and nitrofurantoin (300 μg).(Himedia Laboratories Ltd.) The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for these antibiotics were also determined bythe Vitek automated system.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
