in vitro studies commonly use single bacterial isolates for testing antibiotic susceptibilities. However, interspecies effects that may arise when mixed infections are treated with antibiotics can obviously not be investigated by this approach. In the study presented here, the effect of ceftazidime against a model microbial community consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia and Staphylococcus aureus was studied in order to reveal effects that only may appear in a ceftazidime-treated mixed culture.
