Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The antibiotic susceptibility of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates are based on the results of disc diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The disk diffusion method is according to CLSI guidelines [16 (link)]. Eleven different antibiotics were used to assess the susceptibility test including imipenem (10 µg), cefepime, (30 µg), ceftazidime (30 µg), amikacin (30 µg), gentamicin (10 µg), tetracycline (30 µg), ticarcillin (75 µg), piperacillin (100 mg), sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim (25 µg), carbenicillin (100 µg) and streptomycin (10 µg) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MI, USA).
Broth dilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration according to CLSI guidelines [16 (link)]. The antibiotics imipenem, cefepime, ceftazidime, amikacin, gentamicin, tetracycline, ticarcillin, piperacillin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, carbenicillin and streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich) were used for MIC determination. Multidrug resistance was defined in this analysis as resistance following five drug classes: Extended-spectrum cephalosporins (ceftazidime and cefepime), beta lactamase inhibitor penicillin (ticarcillin, piperacillin and carbenicillin), aminoglycosides (amikacin, gentamicin and streptomycin), Folate pathway inhibitors (sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim) and carbapenems (imipenem).

Madin-Darby bovine kidney epithelial cells (NBL-1 ATCC CCL-22) were obtained at passage 110 from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA). Cells were propagated in sterile polystyrene 150-cm 2 canted-neck, 0.2-µm vent cap flasks (Corning, Corning, NY) in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) containing 1 g/L d-glucose, l-glutamine, and 110 mg/L sodium pyruvate (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO), 10 mg/L piperacillin (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.), and 10 mg/L ciprofloxacin (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.), at 37°C in 5% CO 2 and 95% air. The medium was refreshed every 2 to 3 d. Cells were subcultured to near confluence following medium removal with trypsin-EDTA (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.). Trypsin activity was inhibited by addition of 10 mL of fresh DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.), 10mg/L piperacillin (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.), and 10mg/L ciprofloxacin (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.). For each experimental replicate, cells were plated on 24-well plates (Corning, Glendale, AZ) at a density of 1.5 × 10 5 cells per 15.6-mm diameter well and incubated in 10% FBS DMEM with antibiotics, as indicated above, to achieve approximately 80% confluence before exposure to treatments.

Antibiotic Susceptibility Profiling of βLR16 Clones

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The antibiotic susceptibility of βLR16 and subclones was tested in minimum inhibitory concentration assays according to CLSI guidelines except for lower incubation temperatures (24–28°C) [20 (link)]. Briefly, serial two-fold dilutions (from 512 μg ml-1 to 0.5 μg ml-1, no antibiotic in the last well) of antibiotics were made in Mueller-Hinton (MH) broth (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Sparks, MD, USA) in 96-well plates. The following antibiotics were tested: ampicillin, rifampin (both from Research Products International Corp., Mt. Prospect, IL, USA), carbenicillin (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ, USA), ciprofloxacin (Wako Chemicals USA, Inc., Richmond, VA), erythromycin (Fluka BioChemika, Buchs, Switzerland), amoxicillin, cefamandole, cefoxitin, ceftazidime, cephalexin, piperacillin, chloramphenicol, nalidixic acid, fusidic acid, and gentamicin (all from Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Each well was inoculated with 10 μl containing 105 colony forming units of each clone being tested. The assay was performed in duplicate at least three times, and E. coli strains EPI300, BL21(DE3), or BW25113 (Table 1) containing empty vector always served as the negative controls. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) corresponded to the antibiotic concentration of the first well in which no growth was visible.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiling of Mtb

Mtb was grown to mid-log phase and diluted to an OD of 0.03 in 7H9 medium. Bacteria were then exposed to 1.5-fold serial dilution of antimicrobial compounds. Optical density was recorded after 14 days and normalized to the corresponding strains without drug treatment. Minimum inhibitory concentration is defined as the lowest concentration of a drug at which bacterial growth was inhibited at least 90%, as compared to the control containing no antimicrobial compounds. Ampicillin, auranofin, D-cycloserine, ebselen, ethambutol, faropenem, hydroxyurea, isoniazid, kanamycin, levofloxacin, meropenem, mitomycin C, moxifloxacin, piperacillin, rifampicin, streptomycin and vancomycin were purchased from Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO. Moenomycin was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. Bedaquilline was received as a gift from C. Barry.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Changes to the bacterial load during infection or following treatment were determined via CFU enumeration. At each time-point, four larvae were randomly selected and individually homogenized in a lysing matrix tube containing six 1/8-inch metal beads in 800 μl of PBS-T, using a FastPrep F120 (MP Biomedicals, USA) at 6.0 m/s for 1 min. For CFU enumeration, serial ten-fold dilutions were plated on Middlebrook 7H11 agar, supplemented with 20 μg/ml of piperacillin (PIP, Sigma-Aldrich, UK) to inhibit the growth of native Gm flora [11 (link)]. PIP has no inhibitory activity on H37Rv (MIC = 320 μg/ml).

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.
