  1. Effectsof Tetracycline and Kanamycin on Pseudomonas fluorescens Naomi Drake, Mary Powell, Alexis County

  2. Low Down • Question: Which antibiotic, Tetracycline or Kanamycin, has the greatest effect on the lag phase of Pseudomonas fluorescens? • Hypothesis: The organism’s lag phase would be more significantly extended in the presence of kanamycin as opposed tetracycline.

  3. Initial growth: Dilution 1:10,000- reached .4 OD @ 9:45:05 hours [.392, .443 @ 10:00:05 hours] Extended Lag phase: Dilution 1:1000- reached .4 OD @20:00:05 hours [.394, .422 @ 20:15:05 hours] Note: Dilutions 1:10 and 1:100 fully inhibited growth

  4. Initial growth: Control (no antibiotic)- reached 0.4 OD @ 4:30:05 hours [.397 OD, .424 OD @ 4:45:05 hours] Extended Lag Phase: Dilution 1:1600 – reached 0.4 OD @ 28:30:05 hours [.398 OD, .412 OD @28:45:05 hours]

  5. Tetracycline vsKanamycin

  6. Conclusions • Based on the data collected, P. fluorescens is resistant to tetracycline in various dilutions ranging from 1:10 to 1:12,800. • In the presence of Kanamycin however, the bacteria was susceptible, in varying ratios, ranging from dilutions 1:2 to 1:12,800.
