Hernandez, D., Francois, P., Farinelli, L., Osteras, M. & Schrenzel, J. To generate isogenic strains with or without pCD-METRO, we introduced a shuttle module in the unique Overall, our results show that acquisition of pCD-METRO is sufficient to raise the MIC of Read depth of pCD-METRO in our WGS data indicates an estimated copy number of 100–200, in stark contrast with the pCD6 replicon commonly used in shuttle vectors for Next, we compared the relative copy number of the plasmids in overnight cultures by quantitative PCR (qPCR)A difference between the read-depth estimate and the qPCR can be explained by technical bias or differences in strain background.

and JavaScript.At present, drug repurposing, or drug repositioning, has gained tremendous attention as an alternative approach for drug development as it shortens the process of drug discovery by nearly a half, as the information on drugs toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and dosages is readily retrievableWe first tested the antimicrobial activity of ticagrelor against different ribotypes of After the antimicrobial activity of ticagrelor was confirmed, we investigated the killing kinetics of ticagrelor with Ticagrelor exhibits a bactericidal activity against We further investigated the effect of ticagrelor on biofilm formation at the sub-MICs and MIC level with The amount of proteins and DNA leaked from the bacterial cells were measured by Bradford protein assay and NanoDrop spectrophotometer, respectively.
