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.
