Interspecies effects in a ceftazidime-treated mixed culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia and Staphylococcus aureus: analysis at the single-species level.

in vitro studies commonly use single bacterial isolates for testing antibiotic susceptibilities. However, interspecies effects that may arise when mixed infections are treated with antibiotics can obviously not be investigated by this approach. In the study presented here, the effect of ceftazidime against a model microbial community consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia and Staphylococcus aureus was studied in order to reveal effects that only may appear in a ceftazidime-treated mixed culture.

    We conducted a field experiment with warming (+ 3 °C), altered precipitation (double and half), and annual clipping in a mixed grass prairie in Oklahoma, USA since July, 2009. Across the years, warming significantly increased BNPP, fBNPP , and RUEBNPP by an average of 11.6%, 2.8%, and 6.6%, respect...

    Our phenotypic data proposed a better genotypic tropism prediction for HIV-1 CRF01_AE would be using both Geno2pheno (FPR = 10%, Clonal) and WebPSSM (x4r5 subtype B matrix) algorithms in combination. The sensitivity and specificity for this combination was 88.9% and 89.3% respectively. The comparati...
