How can you use “cepacia” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
This study tested the hypothesis that the relative sensitivity or resistance of P. aeruginosa and B. cepacia strains to PG-1 correlates to the extent of peptide binding.
By light microscopy, the B. cepacia cells appeared larger than the P. aeruginosa cells.
The mean C L of PG-1 for the six P. aeruginosa strains was 0.30 μg/ml, and the mean C L for the five B. cepacia strains was 5.02 μg/ml, a 16.
The indices of susceptibility (C L and MAC values) obtained from our radial diffusion assays established that P. aeruginosa was considerably more sensitive to PG-1 than B. cepacia . We also found that at any given peptide concentration, many fewer protegrin molecules bound to intact B. cepacia and its lipid A than to the corresponding P. aeruginosa preparations.
Why did fewer protegrin molecules bind to B. cepacia than to P. aeruginosa ? Our radial diffusion/binding and SPR studies strongly implicated lipid A as a prime suspect in the case.
