Antibiogram and Biochemical Profiles of Biofield-Treated Shigella Boydii

An experiment by Mahendra Kumar Trivedi measured the effect of biofield treatment on Shigella boydii ATCC 9207. The study reports a 40% alteration in antimicrobial susceptibility and a 59.38% change in minimum inhibitory concentration values in treated groups compared to control. This record was migrated from the OpenDepot repository in June 2017.

Use Cases

• Analyze changes in antimicrobial susceptibility categories (e.g., from Intermediate to Susceptible) after biofield treatment.
• Model the relationship between treatment group, day of assessment, and alterations in Minimum Inhibitory Concentration values.
• Investigate correlations between biofield treatment and changes in biochemical reaction patterns, which showed 66.67% alteration.
• Compare biotype number changes across treated groups (Gr. II day 5, Gr. II day 10, Gr. III day 10) versus the control group.

Strengths

• Reports specific quantitative alterations, including a 40% change in antimicrobial susceptibility and a 59.38% change in MIC values.
• Includes controlled experimental design with defined groups (control, revived treated, lyophilized treated) and assessment time points.
• Uses a standard reference strain (Shigella boydii ATCC 9207) for consistency.

Limitations

• Sample size and number of experimental replicates are not specified, limiting statistical power assessment.
• Data is from a single study by one research group, requiring independent validation.
• The dataset is static from a 2017 repository migration, with no indication of updates or expansions.
