\subsection{Antibiotic
rescue} rescue of infected OS cockroaches}
To explore
the drug whether OS cockroachs may be useful to model post-infection antibiotic treatment
potential of Blaptica dubia cockroaches, antibiotics were used in aims of curing roaches post inoculation of Francisella tularensis LVS. After infection of
106 CFU of F. tularensis LVS, antibiotics were administered both systemically through hemocel injections, and orally through a sucrose solution. 100\% survival was observed after treatment \textit{F. tularensis} infection, we initiated disease with
systemic doxycycline, a high dose (10^{6} CFU) intrahemocoel challenge and
90\% survival was observed with oral administration of doxycycline. Streptomycin prolonged survival of B. dubia roaches when then administered
orally, but 0\% survival was observed after 7 days of initial F. tularensis LVS inoculation. In contrast, 80\% survival antibiotics either by injection or by controlled feeding. Doxycycline, an antibiotic known to absorb well through mucus membranes, was
observed effective when
streptomycin delivered by either route. However, streptomycin, which does not readily cross mucus membranes, was
observed only effective when
injected directly into the hemocoel. Roaches treated orally with streptomycin
was delivered through showed an
intrahemoceol injection. increase in time to death but no change in overall survival compared to the control group that did not receive antibiotics (Figure 3).
