Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen, infecting immuno-compromised patients and causing persistent respiratory infections in people affected from cystic fibrosis. Pseudomonas strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA14 shows higher virulence than Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in a wide range of hosts including insects, nematodes and plants but the precise cause of this difference is not fully understood. Little is known about the host response upon infection with Pseudomonas and whether or not transcription is being affected as a host defense mechanism or altered in the benefit of the pathogen. In this context the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has been described as a suitable host to study virulence of Pseudomonas and other opportunistic pathogens.
Project description:An opportunistic intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis, a member of the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) cluster, causes respiratory disease in immunosuppressed hosts. In particular, infected companion dogs are a potential role to transmit the agent to children or immunosuppressed people. The purpose of this study is to investigate a host-M. avium hominissuis interactome in canine PBMCs during the infection.
