In-vitro Evolution of Drug-Resistant Mycobacteria

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In-vitro evolution experiments were done with the H37Rv reference strain (ATCC 27294). Bedaquiline was purchased from Janssen-Cilag (Neuss, Germany) and clofazimine from Sigma (C8895-1G; Darmstadt, Germany) and both were reconstituted from powder in dimethyl sulphoxide and stored at –20°C.
Bacteria were exposed in liquid culture to Bedaquiline or clofazimine concentrations that were lower than the corresponding MICs, over five bacterial passages (appendix 1 p 12). The bacteria were plated on selective agar plates supplemented with the MIC of Bedaquiline or clofazimine. Mutant colonies were selected from these plates for population sequencing and characterisation. Further details are given in appendix 1 (p 2).

Antimicrobial Susceptibility of M. smegmatis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sensitivity of wild-type and ΔfbiC strains of M. smegmatis to bedaquiline (Janssen Infectious Diseases & Vaccines), isoniazid (Sigma), streptomycin (Sigma), rifampin (Sigma), and ciprofloxacin (Sigma) was determined using a broth microdilution assay (45 (link)). Aliquots (2 ml) of 7H9 liquid medium containing 2-fold serial dilutions of bedaquiline, isoniazid, rifampin, streptomycin, or ciprofloxacin were inoculated with 2 ml of mid-exponential-phase cultures of M. smegmatis to a final OD600 of ~0.002. OD600 values were determined after 24 h of incubation at 37°C with aeration. Sigmoidal dose-response (variable slope) nonlinear fit was calculated using GraphPad Prism 5.0 (GraphPad Software).

Mycobacterial Drug Preparation Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bedaquiline was provided by Janssen (Beerse, Belgium). The other compounds were purchased from the following manufacturers: rifampin from Sandoz (Holzkirchen, Germany), isoniazid from Galien (Nevers, France), pyrazinamide from Sanofi (Paris, France), moxifloxacin from Eurogenerics (Manila, the Phillipines), clofazimine from Sigma (St Louis, MO, USA) and rifapentine from Carbosynth (Compton, UK). Drugs were diluted in water containing 0.05% agar, except for Bedaquiline, which was diluted in aqueous 20% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.
Drug suspensions were prepared weekly, except for rifampin (once every 2 weeks) and Bedaquiline (once for the whole experiment), and were stored at 4°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.
