Growth/survival of hvKP1 grown in human ascites supplemented with hvKP1 generated M9 and LB conditioned media.

<p>The growth of hvKP1 was assessed at 0, 3, 6, and 24 hours in human ascites (batch 2) supplemented with unconditioned (uncond) or hvKP1 generated conditioned (cond) rich laboratory (LB) or minimal (M9) media resulting in final concentrations of 0%, 1%, 5%, and 10%. <u>Panel A:</u> ascites supplemented with conditioned rich laboratory medium (LB). <u>Panel B</u>: ascites supplemented with conditioned minimal medium (MM). Supplementation with 10% conditioned MM compared to 0% resulted in a significant increase in growth/survival (* P<0.05/3) and supplementation with 5% conditioned MM compared to 0% resulted in a trend towards an increase in growth/survival (# P>0.05/3 and<0.05). Data are Mean ± S.E.M.; N = 2.
