Use of Artificial Sputum Medium to Test Antibiotic Efficacy Against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Conditions More Relevant to the Cystic Fibrosis Lung
There is growing concern about the relevance of in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility tests when applied to isolates of P. aeruginosa from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Existing methods rely on single or a few isolates grown aerobically and planktonically. Predetermined cut-offs are used to define whether the bacteria are sensitive or resistant to any given antibiotic. However, during chronic ...
متن کاملLight-Weight Base Station Antenna with Artificial Wire Medium Lens
In this paper we study the possibility of utilizing a loaded wire medium as an artificial material for beam shaping element in base station antenna applications. The wires in the lattice are loaded with a proper capacitive impedance to come up with a structure effectively operating as a dielectric lens at the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) frequency range. It is proven with f...
متن کاملStudies with Human Influenza Virus Cultivated in Artificial Medium
The in vitro cultivation of strains of human influenza virus has been successfully conducted through a prolonged series of successive transfers. The cultivated virus has retained the antigenic and immunological properties which characterized the animal passage virus from which it was derived. The culture virus is still virulent for mice and ferrets; it is capable of inducing an active state of ...
متن کاملSelective Kirchner medium in the culture of specimens other than sputum for mycobacteria.
Over a two-year period, 2949 non-sputum specimens were cultured on two slopes of Löwenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium, two bottles of Kirchner liquid medium, made selective by adding polymyxin B, carbenicillin, trimethoprim and amphotericin B, and a selective 7H11 agar slope. Pus and CSF were inoculated into this set without prior treatment, but other specimens were decontaminated with sulphuric acid....
متن کاملSynthetic Cystic Fibrosis Sputum Medium Regulates Flagellar Biosynthesis through the flhF Gene in Burkholderia cenocepacia
Burkholderia cenocepacia belongs to the Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc), a group of at least 18 distinct species that establish chronic infections in the lung of people with the genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF). The sputum of CF patients is rich in amino acids and was previously shown to increase flagellar gene expression in B. cenocepacia. We examined flagellin expression and flagellar ...
