Bacteria were cultured on Todd Hewitt (TH) broth (BBLTM, BD, Sparks, MD, USA) solidified by 15 g/L of BactoAgar (Saveen Werner AB, Limnhamn, Sweden) at 37 °C overnight, and then kept in 4 °C until cultivation. Single bacterial colonies were taken from the cultures and inoculated in 5 mL of TH broth at 37 °C on a shaking incubator overnight. The following day, the bacterial culture was refreshed in 5 mL TH-broth and grown to logarithmic phase at OD600 = 0.4 at 37 °C on a shaking incubator. After washing of the bacterial pellet in 10 mM Tris (pH 7.4), a bacterial solution with 1 × 109 colony forming units (CFU)/mL was prepared using 10 mM Tris pH 7.4. The bacterial strains used in this study include S. aureus (ATCC 29213; American type culture collection, Manassas, VA, USA) and P. aeruginosa PAO1 (ATCC 27853, Manassas, VA, USA).

In short, overnight cultures were grown to mid-log phase before diluting to ~5×10 5 CFU/mL in Mueller Hinton broth (Becton Dickinson) and 90 µL was used to inoculate each well of a 96-well polypropylene plate (Cat. No. 3879, COSTAR). Then, 10 µL aliquots of a 2-fold dilution series of the peptides were added and the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was scored as the lowest concentration that inhibited visible growth after 48 hours of incubation at 37°C.

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.
