Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in E. coli O103:H25 in co-culture with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron CCUG 10774 compared to when E. coli is cultured individually.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in E. coli O103:H25 in co-culture with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron CCUG 10774 compared to when E. coli is cultured individually. A study using total RNA recovered from three separate co-cultures (E. coli O103:H25 and B. thetaiotaomicron 1:100) at OD=0.5, compared to when E. coli is cultured individually (5 separate samples including 1-3 technical replicates of each sample). Three separate samples are also recovered when E. coli is cultured in supernatant from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron at OD=0.5 compared to when E coli is cultured alone. A comparison is also done after treatment with Mitomycin C (MMC). MMC is added at OD=0.5. There are 3 separate samples from each group that are compared (co-culture versus E. coli grown individually, E. coli in supernatant from B. thetaiotaomicron versus E. coli grown individually).
Project description:A food-borne outbreak of haemorrhagic colitis (HC) and HUS caused by E. coli O103:H25 occurred in Norway, 2006. The outbreak included 17 registered cases, of which 10 developed HUS. The aim of this study was to characterize two E. coli O103:H25 isolates from this outbreak. Only one of the isolates carry the stx2 gene (by PCR). Since they have the same typing profile by typing method MLVA, we expect the isolates to have identical gene content except from an Stx2-encoding phage. Therefore, we further investigate whether the Stx2-encoding phage has any impact on the gene expression. Keywords: mixed, gene expression, comparative genomic hybridization

Therefore, we further investigate whether the Stx2-encoding phage has any impact on the gene expression. Keywords: mixed, gene expression, comparative genomic hybridization Triplicate samples of mRNA from a test strain O157:H7 EDL933 and two outbreak strains - one Stx positive and one stx negative were co-hybridized with genomic DNA from the same strain. Triplicate samples of the Stx positive strain grown at acidic conditions was also co-hybridized with genomic DNA from the Stx positive strain. Genomic DNA for each strain is technical replicates only.
Project description:Analysis of the Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron(BT) transcriptome during co-culture with Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells To identify potential bacterial protein(s) involved in the anti-inflammatory effect of BT in colitis, BT was incubated with Caco-2 human intestinal epithelial cells for 2 hours, and bacterial gene expression was assessed on a Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482 specific microarray. Forty-three BT genes were up-regulated by five-fold or more and of these, twenty genes encoded hypothetical proteins.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Salmonella typhimurium in the ceca of germ-free and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron-monoassociated gnotobiotic mice. Comparison with response in MM-Glucose. In vivo transcriptional profiles of Salmonella typhimurium obtained from biological triplicate samples taken from cecal contents of germ-free and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron-monoassociated mice 5 days post-infection with S. typhimurium. Biological duplicate samples from in vitro culture of S. typhimurium in MM-Glucose used for comparision.
Project description:Investigation of the overall in vitro response of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron to human milk oligosaccharides. Comparison with response to MM-lactose and MM-galactose (Analysis performed using as a baseline datasets GSM301635 and GSM301637 corresponding to Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron response in MM-Glucose)

Comparison with response to MM-lactose and MM-galactose (Analysis performed using as a baseline datasets GSM301635 and GSM301637 corresponding to Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron response in MM-Glucose) In vitro transcriptional profiles of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron obtained from biological duplicate cultures taken: (i) at middle log phase in minimal media galactose (MM-Gal) and minimal media lactose (MM-L) and (ii) at two timepoints during log phase in minimal media human milk oligosaccharides (MM-HMO).
