Project description:Gene expression profiles of two Pseudomonas aeruginosa taxonomic outlier clinical isolates, CLJ1 and CLJ3 [CLJ3] Pseudomonas aeruginosa taxonomic outliers emerged recently as infectious for humans, provoking hemorrhagic pneumonia. Those bacteria lack classical type III secretion system, and utilize the pore-forming toxin for infection. Two clones CLJ1 and CLJ3 belonging to these taxonomic outliers have been isolated from the same patient at two different times during hospitalization. P. aeruginosa CLJ3 displays antibiotic resistance phenotype, while CLJ1 is more cytotoxic on epithelial and endothelial cells.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacteria leading to exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients while this bacteria can be easily eradicated by the immune systems of healthy individuals. Human airway organoids derived from healthy individuals and COPD patients were infected with pseudomonas aeruginosa. This project aims (1) to understand the differences in gene expressions in healthy and COPD airway organoids during stable condition, without infection and (2) to investigate differential pathogenic mechanism (i.e. antimicrobial defense) of pseudomonoas aeruginosa infection in healthy and COPD populations. Three healthy donors and three COPD patients were included in this study and samples were collected with and without pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.
Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known to tolerate antibiotic therapy during infection. This prevents clearance of infection and negatively impacts patient outcomes. Here, we report the transcriptome sequence of antibiotic-treated and untreated P. aeruginosa cultures and the differential gene expression observed when treated cells are compared to untreated cells.
Project description:The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the changes of transcriptome in Pseudomonas aeruginosa under the action of sodium houttuyfonate (SH), thus revealing the possible mechanism of sodium houttuyfonate inhibiting P. aeruginosa. We analyzed these data in order to compare the transcriptional differences of P. aeruginosa in SH medication group and blank control group.
Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common bacterium in the terminal plumbing system of buildings and it is from this niche that a substantial fraction of infections are acquired. To better understand P. aeruginosa biology in this environment, we examined the transcriptomes in tap water and pond water.
Project description:Comparison of libraries derived from primary human bronchial epithelial cells which are [i] unstimulated, [ii] stimulated with the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL1beta and TNFalpha and [iii] stimulated with heat-inactivated Pseudomonas aeruginosa (strain PAO1). Keywords: other
Project description:Comparison of gd T cell clones with ab T cell clones that responded to the same antigen. Clones were identically stimulated with ConA/IL-2 and analyzed with two separate microarrays. Keywords: other
Project description:In order to understand how Pseudomonas aeruginosa responds to low oxygen we grew strain PAO1 with 3 different oxygen concentrations: 2%, 0.4% and 0% supplemented with nitrate as an electron acceptor. Gene expression under these conditions was compared to that of cells grown with 20% oxygen. Keywords: Comparison of transcriptome profiles
