Elucidation of the mechanism behind the potentiating activity of baicalin against Burkholderia cepacia complex biofilms. Elucidation of the mechanism behind the potentiating activity of baicalin against Burkholderia cepacia complex biofilms

Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 biofilms were described to have an increased susceptibility towards tobramycin when baicalin hydrate was added to the treatment. The goal of this transcriptomic analysis is to elucidate the effect of baicalin hydrate on gene expression levels when added to tobramycin treatment. Therefore, biofilms were grown for 24 hours and treated for another 24 hours with either tobramycin (TOB) (1024ug/ml), baicalin hydrate (BH) (250uM) or a combination of both. Also, an untreated control (physiological saline) was included. This experiment was repeated twice, so three biological replicates per treatment were included for RNAsequencing.
