Project description:Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. In this study,we evaluated the genetic difference of 40 Streptococcus suis strains belonging to various sequence types by comparative genomic hybridization to identify genes associated with the variation in pathogenicity using NimbleGen’s tilling microarray platform.

Project description:Identification of Genes and Genomic Islands Correlated with High Pathogenicity through Tilling Microarray-Based Comparative Genomics in S. suis. Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. S. suis isolates have been categorized into groups of different levels of pathogenicity, with sequence type (ST) ST1 clonal complex strains having a higher degree of virulence than other STs. However, the genetic basis of the differences in pathogenicity is still poorly understood. In this study, a comprehensive genomic comparison of 31 S. suis strains from different clinical sources with the genome sequence of the high pathogenicity (HP) strain GZ1 was conducted using NimbleGen’s tilling microarray platform.
Project description:Streptococcus suis is a major pig pathogen as well as an emerging zoonotic pathogen. We studied the generic and adaptive resistance response of S. suis upon exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of the human cathelicidin LL-37. We aimed to search for inducible mechanisms of resistance to AMPs as well as induction of virulence gene expression upon exposure to AMPs, in order to gain insights into host-derived factors that might mediate S. suis pathogenesis.
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression changes following apical infection of porcine choroid plexus epithelial cells (PCPEC) with Streptococcus suis (S. suis) We compared PCPEC either un-treated or infected with wild-type S. suis strain 10 or the acapsular strain 10cpsDEF, respectively, to determine global gene expression changes by microarray analysis
