Fig. 5. MGE/DGE–Amp selectively kill uropathogenic E. coli in the presence of non-pathogenic E. coli K-12 and the probiotic L. rhamnosus GG. (a and b) Bacterial growth monitored by (a) OD600 and (b) CFU mL–1 for cultures of E. coli K-12 only, CFT073 only, and 1 : 1 K-12/CFT073 mixtures treated with 100 nM Amp or 100 nM (Glc)Ent–Amp 5/7/9 in the presence of 200 μM DP. (c and d) Bacterial growth monitored by (c) OD600 and (d) CFU mL–1 for cultures of E. coli K-12 only, UTI89 only, and 1 : 1 K-12/UTI89 mixtures treated with 100 nM Amp or 100 nM (Glc)Ent–Amp 5/7/9 in the presence of 200 μM DP. (e and f) Bacterial growth monitored by (e) OD600 and (f) CFU mL–1 for cultures of L. rhamnosus GG only, E. coli CFT073 only, and 1 : 1 L. rhamnosus GG/E. coli CFT073 mixtures treated with 1 μM Amp or 1 μM (Glc)Ent–Amp 5/7/9 in the presence of 200 μM DP. All mixed-E. coli antimicrobial assays were performed in 50% MHB medium and all mixed-species antimicrobial assays were conducted in 1 : 1 MRS/MHB medium (t = 19 h, T = 30 °C) (mean ± standard deviation, n = 3). An asterisk indicates OD600 < 0.01 or no colony formation. The data for (Glc)Ent–Amx 6/8/10 are presented in Fig. S16. .
