Quantifying Variation in Bacterial Reproductive Fitness: a High-Throughput Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reproductive fitness of bacteria is a major factor in the evolution and persistence antimicrobial resistance may play an important role as pathogen severe infections. With computational approach to quantify growing competitively on agar plates, our high-throughput method has been designed obtain additional phenotypic data for analysis at low cost.

A high-throughput method for quantifying metabolically active yeast cells.
By redesigning the established methylene blue reduction test for bacteria and yeast, we present a cheap and efficient methodology for quantitative physiology of eukaryotic cells applicable for high-throughput systems. Validation of the method in fermenters and high-throughput systems proved equivalent, displaying reduction curves that interrelated directly with CFU counts. For growth rate estim...
متن کاملA high-throughput method for quantifying growth of phytopathogenic bacteria in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Measuring the growth of pathogenic bacteria in leaves is a mainstay of plant pathology studies. We have made significant improvements to standard methods that will not only increase the throughput but also reduce the space limitations. Additionally, the method described here is as accurate as the standard method. Briefly, we infected leaves by dipping whole seedlings of Arabidopsis into a bacte...
متن کاملA high-throughput assay for quantifying appetite and digestive dynamics.
Food intake and digestion are vital functions, and their dysregulation is fundamental for many human diseases. Current methods do not support their dynamic quantification on large scales in unrestrained vertebrates. Here, we combine an infrared macroscope with fluorescently labeled food to quantify feeding behavior and intestinal nutrient metabolism with high temporal resolution, sensitivity, a...
متن کاملQuantifying selection in high-throughput Immunoglobulin sequencing data sets
High-throughput immunoglobulin sequencing promises new insights into the somatic hypermutation and antigen-driven selection processes that underlie B-cell affinity maturation and adaptive immunity. The ability to estimate positive and negative selection from these sequence data has broad applications not only for understanding the immune response to pathogens, but is also critical to determinin...
متن کاملSimple method for quantifying viable bacterial numbers in sputum.
AIMS To establish a simple method of quantitative culture for determining the viable bacterial numbers present in expectorated sputum samples. METHODS Sputum samples were homogenised with dithiothreitol, sterile saline or glass beads to determine which method recovered the greatest number of viable bacteria. Culture broths were also incubated with dithiothreitol and sampled over time to deter...
