Presentation Transcript

  1. Does the rate of inhibition of Tetracycline change in different pH environments? Daniel Björkman, Caleb Wilson

  2. Background • Purpose of Question • Will it still be effective in biological systems with • Different pHs? • Abnormal region of infection? • Introduced endogenous pathogen • Bacteria Resistant Mechanisms? • Variables in Question • Best E.colipH for maximum growth • Optimal [TET] for experiment

  3. Definition of Variables • pH chosen = 6.0 • E.coliaround 7.0 • Stock NB around pH 6.5

  4. [TET] Optimization 0.32x, taken down from 1000x [2]. Measurable amount of inhibition without effects from ethanol.

  5. Results Figure 1 Results from biological replicates in triplicate test pHs 4, 5, 7 ,8, 9, and 10 at [0.32x] TET with E.coli.

  6. Reference Series Used to determine a normal rate of inhibition of [0.32x] TET , defined at pH 6.5

  7. Raw Data from Replicated Series

  8. Ionization States of Tetracycline Mechanism of Uptake? Does this relate to our data? Conclusions This IS a change in the effectiveness of TET in different pHs. Protonated form most easily passes through cell membrane [3]. Effects of ethanol on E.coligrowth? [3]
