Experimental and clinical infections have concentrations of bacteria that are greater than the concentrations used in the laboratory for the determination of in vitro activity. When realistic concentrations are used, the antibiotic activity is reduced. The optimum selection of antibiotics may require a re-examination of the laboratory procedures for the determination of sensitivity data.

The limitations of existing mouse models of lung infection with Mycobacteroides abscessus impede drug discovery and development. In contrast to current animal models that introduce NTM intravenously or by intranasal/intra-tracheal instillation or via bronchoscopy-guided insufflation, we developed a dry powder inhalation (DPI) of M. abscessus ATCC 19977 that generated paucibacillary lung infection and histopathology in immunocompetent mice.

Previous studies showed no improvement in bacterial biomass for Puniceispirillum marinum IMCC1322 under light regimes. Nevertheless, in nutrient-replete cultures with higher inoculating cell densities, strain IMCC1322 exhibited proteorhodopsin photoheterotrophy. Increasing both inoculum size and the amino acid pool can eliminate quorum sensing and starvation responses in strain IMCC1322.

Background: The aim of this article is to evaluate the effect of different portions of Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) membranes and liquid-PRF, prepared by two distinct protocols/centrifuges each, on the multispecies subgingival biofilm.
Materials And Methods: PRF membranes and liquid-PRF were prepared using two protocols: centrifuge 1 uses fixed acceleration while centrifuge 2, progressive acceleration. PRF samples were introduced into device concurrently with 33-species bacterial inoculum.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different storage times of the mixed inoculum on in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics, microbial diversity, and community composition. The experiment was divided into five groups, with mixed inoculum composed of fresh rumen fluid and culture medium being stored at 39 °C for 0 h (H0), 12 h (H12), 24 h (H24), 36 h (H36), and 48 h (H48). After 48 h of in vitro fermentation, the fermentation fluid was collected to assess rumen fermentation characteristics and microbial community composition.
