Bacterial growth and tumor spheroid viability kinetics in BSCCs. (A) F. nucleatum 16s rRNA gene qPCR from the BSCC model over a 48 h period. Results are shown as 16s rDNA copies over time for BSCCs with F. nucleatum strains 23726 (blue) and 25586 (red). (B) Tumor spheroid cytotoxicity over 48 h after inoculation with F. nucleatum. Increased fluorescence is indicative of increased cytotoxicity in the dye exclusion assay. Results show BSCCs with F. nucleatum 23726 (blue), 25586 (red), lysis solution treatment (white), or vehicle control (black). Data represent the mean and standard deviation of at least three biological replicates.
