| Abstract | An in vitro chemostat system in which Pseudomonas aeruginosa can be cultivated at a slow growth rate and under iron limitation conditions was used to study the susceptibilities of sessile bacteria of mucoid and nonmucoid P. aeruginosa strains to tobramycin and piperacillin. Planktonic cells of both mucoid and nonmucoid P. aeruginosa strains were susceptible to tobramycin and piperacillin. None of the cells was found to be viable after 2 h of exposure to 200 micrograms of piperacillin plus 10 micrograms of tobramycin per ml. Young sessile bacteria were slightly more resistant to piperacillin or tobramycin than the planktonic cells were. However, eradication of young sessile bacteria could be achieved with a combination of piperacillin and tobramycin. None of these young biofilm bacteria were found to be viable after a 2-h exposure to 200 micrograms of piperacillin plus 10 micrograms of tobramycin per ml. Old sessile bacteria were very resistant to these antibiotics. Eradication of old sessile bacteria could not be achieved with either tobramycin (200 micrograms/ml) or piperacillin (200 micrograms/ml) alone. Combination of higher concentrations of tobramycin with piperacillin resulted in an enhancement of killing of the old sessile bacteria. Exposure of old sessile bacteria to 200 micrograms of piperacillin plus 100 micrograms of tobramycin per ml resulted in the reduction of the viable count to approximately 0.02%. The data suggest that the eradication of biofilm-associated infections is best carried out as early as possible. Enhanced activities against the sessile bacteria were achieved when higher concentrations of aminoglycosides were combined with beta-lactam antibiotics. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
