Table 3: AIEC Combination therapy replicate plate #2
The data regarding sequential therapy set a therapy showed that ultimately the data less effective than combination therapy. This is ultimately because it affects DNA. The DNA of AIEC bacteria ultimately evolves after being exposed to weak antibiotics, mutates and becomes resistant against the several of the properties of the previous antibiotics. This process will in turn make it less susceptible to treatment from a following antibiotic. In the original set and the two replicate sets, there was a lower amount of surviving AIEC colonies when P/S was used than in any of the other treatments in set a. However, the treatment set had a higher amount of surviving AIEC colonies than the combination therapy.
