Incorporating prior knowledge improves detection of differences in bacterial growth rate
2015
BMC Systems Biology
Conclusions: We have demonstrated that by making use of existing experimental knowledge, it is possible to significantly improve detection of differences in bacterial growth rate. ...
Robust statistical detection of differences in the bacterial growth rate can be challenging, particularly when dealing with small differences or noisy data. ...
We thank Brian Morris for the computational evaluation of various growth curve and Bayesian analysis functions.

Semimechanistic Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Model for Assessment of Activity of Antibacterial Agents from Time-Kill Curve Experiments
2006
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
In conclusion, for all drugs, the final PK/PD model successfully described bacterial growth and killing kinetics when the bacteria were exposed to different antibiotic concentrations. ...
The drug effect was included as an increase of the killing rate of bacteria in the susceptible state, according to a maximum-effect (E max ) model. ...
Incorporating prior knowledge of and experience with the system studied into the model-building process, and thereby creating mechanistically based PK/PD models, may increase the predictability of the ...

Quantitative Impact of Neutrophils on Bacterial Clearance in a Murine Pneumonia Model
2011
Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
In this study, the impact of neutrophils on bacterial clearance was quantitatively assessed in a murine pneumonia model.In vitrotime-growth studies were performed to determine the growth rate constants ...
A simple mathematical model was proposed to quantify the contribution of neutrophils to bacterial clearance and predict the bacterial growth/suppression in animals. ...
The rate of change of 145 bacteria over time was expressed as the difference between the intrinsic bacterial growth rate 146 and the kill rate provided by the neutrophils. ...
