Project description:Differential expression was determined in Calu-3 cells between mock infected and infected with H1N1 influenza virus A/Netherlands/602/2009 at nine time points post-infection.

As a comparison, cells were also infected with A/CA/04/2009 H1N1 influenza virus at 4 time points post-infection. Cells were infected at an MOI of 3.0. For the A/Netherlands/602/09-infected and mock-infected cells, samples were collected at 0, 3, 7, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 48 hours post-infection (h.p.i.). For the A/California/04/2009-infected cells, samples were collected at 0, 12, 24, and 48 h.p.i. Samples were collected in triplicate.
Project description:Tan2012 - Antibiotic Treatment, Inoculum Effect
The efficacy of many antibiotics decreases with increasing bacterial density, a phenomenon called the ‘inoculum effect’ (IE). This study reveals that, for ribosome-targeting antibiotics, IE is due to bistable inhibition of bacterial growth, which reduces the efficacy of certain treatment frequencies.

Abstract:
The inoculum effect (IE) refers to the decreasing efficacy of an antibiotic with increasing bacterial density. It represents a unique strategy of antibiotic tolerance and it can complicate design of effective antibiotic treatment of bacterial infections. To gain insight into this phenomenon, we have analyzed responses of a lab strain of Escherichia coli to antibiotics that target the ribosome. We show that the IE can be explained by bistable inhibition of bacterial growth. A critical requirement for this bistability is sufficiently fast degradation of ribosomes, which can result from antibiotic-induced heat-shock response. Furthermore, antibiotics that elicit the IE can lead to 'band-pass' response of bacterial growth to periodic antibiotic treatment: the treatment efficacy drastically diminishes at intermediate frequencies of treatment. Our proposed mechanism for the IE may be generally applicable to other bacterial species treated with antibiotics targeting the ribosomes.

Project description:We use palaeoproteomic analysis to obtain the taxonomic identification of an exceptional bone tool from a Bronze Age site near Heiloo, the Netherlands. ZooMS, SPIN and a conventional MaxQuant database search were employed to narrow down the species the tool belonged to. Here, only the LC-MS/MS raw data and MaxQuant analysis are stored. For the accompanying ZooMS and SPIn data see the associated publication.
Project description:In order to polish a long-read genome assembly, short-read illumina data was obtained from Heterodera schachtii cysts (Woensdrecht population from IRS, the Netherlands). Cysts where obtained from infected plant material. Nematodes were cleaned using a sucrose gradient centrifugation step. Thereafter DNA was extracted and used for library preparation and sequencing by Illumina NextSeq500.
