Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All experiments using live clinical Mtb strains were conducted in the biosafety level 2 plus laboratory of Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital. All strains were tested for drug susceptibility against 6 anti-TB drugs according to the World Health Organization (WHO) and Clinical and Laboratory Quality Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Löwenstein-Jensen commercial media (Wuhan, China) containing antibiotics were used in the proportion methods to test all antibiotics. The critical concentrations for INH (Sigma, Oakville, ON, Canada) were 0.2 mg/L, RIF (Sigma) 40.0 mg/L, ethambutol (EMB, Sigma) 2.0 mg/L, levofloxacin (LFX, Sigma) 2.0 mg/L, moxifloxacin (MOX, Sigma) 2.0 mg/L, and kanamycin (KAN, Sigma) 30.0 mg/L, respectively. After 3 weeks of incubation at 37 °C, their DST results were confirmed (Table S1).

Quantifying Bacterial Internalization Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The internalization assay was performed as previously described [26 (link)]. In brief, after 2 h of bacterial adhesion, the culture medium containing extracellular bacteria was removed. The infected cells were then washed 3 times with PBS, pH 7.5. Medium containing 250 μg/ml kanamycin (KAN) (Sigma-Aldrich) was added and further incubated for 2 h to inhibit the growth of residual extracellular bacteria. After 4 h of incubation, the cells were washed and lysed as described above. The numbers of internalized bacteria in the lysate were quantified using the drop plate technique on LB agar. The percentage of bacteria that had internalized was calculated from three independent experiments, with triplicate determinations each time.

Strains and plasmids used in this study are listed in Table 1. All strains were grown in overnight cultures from single-use aliquots of cryopreserved cells, diluted 1000-fold in BHI media (Beckinson Dickinson). Mutant strains were incubated with the appropriate antibiotics: kanamycin (Kan; Sigma-Aldrich) 500 μg mL−1; erythromycin (Erm; Sigma-Aldrich); 10 μg mL−1; spectinomycin (Spc; Sigma-Aldrich) 200 μg mL−1; chloramphenicol (Cm; Fisher) 5 μg mL−1. The pre-cultures of the SK36 ΔssaACB ΔtmpA and VMC66 ΔssaACB ΔmntH and ΔssaACB ΔmntH ΔtmpA required exogenous Mn2+ for growth (15 μM for the triple mutant; 10 μM for the others). The cultures were then incubated at 37°C for 16–20 h (or up to 24 h for the triple mutant) with the atmospheric condition set to 1% O2 (9.5% H2, 9.5% CO2, and 80% N2) or 6% O2 (7% H2, 7% CO2, and 80% N2) using a programmable Anoxomat Mark II jar-filling system (AIG, Inc).

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.
