Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (B. bacteriovorus) is a predatory bacterium that preys on other gram-negative bacteria. In order to survive and reproduce, B. bacteriovorus invades the periplasm of other bacterial cells creating the potential for it to act as a “living antibiotic”. In this work, a comparison was made between the rates of predation of B. bacteriovorus in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the behavior of B. bacteriovorus was examined in the presence of prey. In vivo, the behavior of B. bacteriovorus was examined in the presence of prey and a living host, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). C. elegans were infected with Escherichia coli (E. coli) and treated with B. bacteriovorus. In previous studies that analyzed B. bacteriovorus in vitro, a decrease in concentrations of bacteria has been observed after introduction of B. bacteriovorus. In vivo, B. bacteriovorus were found to not have a net reduction of E. coli but to reproducibly raise the level of fluctuations in E. coli concentrations.
