In vitro infection assay allows the assessment of the ability of different bacteria to interact with more complex eukaryotes, colonise them and persist in the organism. The evaluation of this capacity is particularly relevant in the healthcare field, where serious infections and mortality are increasing due to the ability of pathogens to colonise different pathways, such as the respiratory or gastrointestinal tract. Thus, to perform the cell infection studies, the most relevant cell lines (lung adenocarcinoma (A549), liver (HEPG2), intestine (HT29), etc.) and bacterial strains (Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 17978, Staphylococcus aureus CECT 5190, Enterococcus faecium CECT 5253, etc.) will be selected, depending on the type of sample and the route of exposure.

Specifications and Deliverables:
A report describing the results obtained in the different experiments carried out to evaluate the toxicity of the materials of interest will be provided to the costumers. Together with the results and conclusions, the protocols applied to perform the experiments will be also specified.
Value Proposition:
The infectivity study allows the evaluation of compounds with potential selective toxicity using different bacterial strains and cell lines. These assays, joint with biofilm formation and disassembly assays, provide valuable information on how the presence of a specific compound may affect bacterial adherence and survival, which is valuable in multiple areas of knowledge, such as biomedicine. In addition, the assessment is performed by in vitro assays, which offers several advantages, such as the use of simple biological models that avoid ethical considerations, high reproducibility, shorter analysis times and reduced costs, among others.
