Abstract
我们描述用于表征抗生素耐药性的进化途径一种低成本，可配置morbidostat。的morbidostat是连续监测细菌的生长并动态调整的药物浓度，因为它们进化获得抗药性不断挑战细菌细菌培养装置。该器件具有的〜10毫升的工作容积，并且完全自动化，并配备了光学密度测量结果和微型泵为介质和药物递送。为了验证平台，我们测得的逐步收购大肠杆菌 MG 1655耐甲氧苄啶，以及集成设备与复用微流体平台来研究细胞形态及药敏。该方法可以按比例放大的抗生素耐药性的实验室研究，并可扩展至适应性进化为代谢工程和其它细菌培养试验菌株改进。
Introduction
自推出第一种抗生素药物青霉素，微生物的耐药性已经发展成为一个全球性的健康问题1。尽管抗生素抗性的获得可在体内回顾性研究，这些实验的条件通常不会在整个演化2控制。另外，自适应进化实验室可以从抗生素药物3显示环境下的应力或选择压力微生物物种的分子进化。最近，抗生素耐药性的许多良好控制的进化实验已经阐明抗生素耐药性的出现。例如，奥斯汀的小组展示了在一个适当设计的微流体隔间4环境迅速出现。最近开发的morbidostat诱导药物的选择压力下5,6系统性的突变。该morbidostat，微生物SELEC该连续调整抗生素浓度维持几乎恒定的人口和灰装置，是从在微生物学7,8中使用的波动测试的一大进步。在波动测试，抗生素药物以高浓度注入，幸存的突变体进行筛选并计数。相反，在morbidostat微生物都在不断的挑战，并获得多个突变。
该morbidostat功能类似恒，由诺维克和Szliard于1950年发明了一种培养装置，通过同时稀释微生物种群连续9提供营养保持一个恒定的人口。自推出以来，恒化已提前和完善。目前的微流控恒化已经达到了纳升和单细胞的能力。然而，这些装置不适合于适应进化实验，这需要许多突变事件10,11的大细胞群体。近日，迷你用约10 mL工作体积恒化器也已开发以补升规模的生物反应器和微流体恒化器12,13之间的间隙。
在这里，我们提出了一种抗生素耐药性的研究设计和使用成本低，自动化morbidostat。所提出的模块可以在摇床培养箱，在微生物实验室通过更少的硬件要求使用。开源固件也很容易适合于适应进化的特定的应用，如代谢工程3。最后，morbidostat被集成到抗生素药敏试验14复用微流体平台。

Representative Results
上述morbidostat在图1中概略显示。在共同morbidostat操作，包括实验进化，药敏试验和细胞形态的检查，在大肠杆菌进行了验证大肠杆菌 MG1655文化受到甲氧苄氨嘧啶（TMP），常用的抗生素药物5,6。 TMP诱导耐药性非常鲜明逐步增加，并且该突变围绕二氢叶酸还原酶（DHFR）基因簇。因此，TMP是用于验证morbidostat动作的高效标准药物。每一天，微?…
Discussion
从低成本分量的低足迹morbidostat设备是证明。由设备注册的耐药水平的增加是与以前的报告5一致。设计为耐药性的进化研究，该装置是可能适用于许多其他的实验。首先，药物诱导的突变的综合数据库可为一大组的临床相关抗生素来建立。例如，多药耐药性的进化途径可以通过简单地增加的实验中所用的药物的数量进行研究。这里所报告的模块的主要优点是它的灵活配置性，可实现大型?…
