ALT Total counts. Tracking total plate counts for the resistance and viability of an initial inoculum of Kp Nevada with a concentration of 107 CFU/mL in the 10-day HFIM following exposure to various mono- and combination therapies. Therapeutic regimens were simulated over 168 hours. Drug administration was discontinued after the 168-hour time point (dashed line), and the experiment was continued for an additional 48 hours to assess population viability upon return of favorable growing conditions. Subsets of total plate counts to highlight the individual contributions of polymyxin B and Imipenem when added to the base of aztreonam and ceftazidime/avibactam are shown on the right. LMD, low maintenance dose; SMD, standard maintenance dose.
ALT Dated evolutionary tree of butterfly and moth relationships. The tree shows that butterflies (Papilionoidea) form a monophyletic group (ie a group that consists of all the species that share a single common ancestor, and no species that are not descended from that ancestor) with its origin dating to the Cretaceous Period. Moths are not a monophyletic group, as the figure shows Papilionoidea butterflies nested within the branches of different moth taxa.
