Project description:We sequenced mRNA from three independent biological replicates of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms with different proportion of dormant cells. Whole trancriptome analysis of Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilms with prevented and induced dormancy.
Project description:Staphylococcus aureus Newman and Staphylococcus epidermidis Tu3298, 20 minutes post challenge with sub-inhibitory concentration of sapienic acid vs equivalent concentration of ethanol. Challenge was added at mid logarithmic growth (OD600 0.5). Biological triplicates of samples were sequenced.
Project description:We examined the differential gene expression of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus epidermidis in dual species biofilms. Therefore, we performed RNA-Seq on single and dual species biofilms and we compared the gene expression levels in dual species biofilms to those in single species biofilms.
Project description:We use the zebrafish embryo model to study the innate immune response against Staphylococcus epidermidis. Therefore, we injected S. epidermidis into the yolk at 2 hpf and took samples at 5 days post injection. This deep sequence study was designed to determine the gene expression profile by Staphylococcus epidermidis infection. RNA was isolated from embryos at 5 days post injection. Wildtypes zebrafish embryos were micro-injected into the yolk (2hpf) with 20 CFU of S. epidermdis O-47 mCherry bacteria suspended in PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone), or Non-injected as a control. After injections embryos were transferred into fresh egg water and incubated at 28M-BM-0C. At 5 days post injection 100-200 embryos per group were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and total RNA was isolated using TRIZOL reagent.
Project description:The custom-made S. epidermidis GeneChips(Shanghai Biochip Co., Ltd) included qualifiers representing open reading frame (ORF) sequences identified in the genomes of the S. epidermidis strain RP62A, as well as unique ORFs in S. epidermidis strain 12228. The GeneChips were composed of cDNA array containing PCR products of 2316 genes and oligonucleotide array containing 252 genes.Two-component regulatory systems (TCSs) play a pivotal role in bacterial adaptation, survival, and virulence by sensing changes in the external environment and modulating gene expression in response to a variety of stimuli.To investigate the regulatory role of LytSR, one of the TCSs identified in the genomes of S. epidermidis, we used the GeneChips to perform a transcriptional profile analysis of the wild strain and lytSR mutant.

Wild type untreated in triplicate is compared to lytSR mutant in triplicate for cDNA array and four replicates on the oligo array.
Project description:We use the zebrafish embryo model to study the innate immune response against Staphylococcus epidermidis. Therefore, we injected S. epidermidis (and three controls groups) into the yolk at 2 hpf and samples at mutiple timepoints. Gene expression profiles were obtained at 6, 30, 54, 78, 102 and 126 hpi by microarrays. The results show that the gram-positive bacterium S. epidermidis induces a late immune response with a strong response at 102 hpi. This microarray study was designed to determine the gene expression profile during infection with Staphylococcus epidermidis. RNA was isolated from groups of embryos (20) at 6 timepoints during the infection. Wildtypes zebrafish embryos were micro-injected into the yolk (2hpf) with (1) 20 CFU of S. epidermdis O-47 mCherry bacteria suspended in PVP (Polyvinylpyrrolidone), (2) mock-injected with PVP as a control, (3) Needle insertion as control, (4) Non-injected as a control. After injections embryos were transferred into fresh egg water and incubated at 28M-BM-0C. At 8 hpf (6 h post infection), 32 hpf (30 h post infection), 56 hpf (54 h post infection), 80 hpf (78 h post infection), 104 hpf (102 h post infection) or 128 hpf (126 h post infection) twenty embryos per treatment group were snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and total RNA was isolated using TRIZOL reagent. All treatment groups were analyzed using a common reference approach.
