Culture medium | Starter cultures were grown in complex LB medium containing 5 g/L yeast extract, 10 g/L peptone and 10g/L NaCl. For the second and main cultures, a minimal medium developed during the study ensured balanced growth of all strains, an importantprerequisite for the13C-flux approach. The osmolality of this medium was 500 mosmol/kg, which reflects that ofhuman urine. The medium contained the following (per liter): 2.5 g glucose, 13.0 g KH2PO4-2H2O, 20.6 g K2HPO4, 0.49 g MgSO4-7H2O, 2.5 g NH4Cl, 1.41 g Na2SO4, 0.085 g CaCl2-2H2O, 1.2 mg FeSO4-7H2O, and 25 mg 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate. For 13C-flux experiments, naturally labeled glucose was replaced with 99% [1-13C] glucose. |

Case-specific description | In vivo carbon flux distribution in the central metabolism of uropathogenic P.aeruginosa isolates during growth on glucose.Flux is given as average flux of all strains and is expressed as a molar percentage of the average glucose uptake rate of all strains (8.6 mmol/g/h).(Uropathogenic P.aeruginosa isolates from patients with direct urinary tract infections included the strains MH06u, MH09u, RN12u, RN13u, MH16u, MH17u, MH26u, and MH29u.Isolates from patients with catheter-associated urinary tract infectionsincluded the strains MH15c, MH25c, MH33c, MH34c, MH36c,MH37c, MH39c, MH56c, and MH57c.) |
