Project description:C. jejuni HPC5 is a Campylobacter strain isolated from chickens. Following bacteriophage CP34 treatment on chickens colonised by C. jejuni HPC5, a series of CP34 insensitive strains like C. jejuni HPC5 R14 and C. jejuni HPC5 R20 were obtained which compromised their ability to colonise chickens. Reintroduction of C. jejuni HPC5 R14 and R20 in to chickens led to reversion of these strains and the MRPs of the revertant strains fell in to different classes termed C. jejuni HPC5 R14A, R14B, R20A, R20B and R20C and these strained were tested positive for colonisation proficient and bacteriophage sensitive.
Project description:Gene content comparison of control C. jejuni subsp. jejuni strain 11168 which colonizes and causes disease in C57BL/6 IL-10-/- mice versus C. jejuni strains D6844, D6845, D6846, D6847, D6848, D6849, D0121, D0835, D2586, D2600,33560 and NW in the C57BL/6 IL-10-/- mice. Keywords: DNA/DNA comparison
Project description:Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of campylobacteriosis in the developed world. Although most cases are caused by consumption of contaminated meat, a significant proportion is caused by consumption of contaminated water. Some C. jejuni isolates are better than others at surviving in water, which suggests that these strains are better adapted to transmission by water than others. The aim of this study is to investigate this phenomenon further. CFU counts and viability assays showed that strain 81116 survives better than strain 81-176 in a defined freshwater medium at 4°C. Comparative transcriptomic profiling using microarray revealed that these strains respond differently to water. This series presents the transcriptome of strain 81116 in water.

There are three biological replicates for each experiment. Seven independent cDNA preps of C. jejuni HPC5 were prepared and they were labelled independently using AF555. The labelled cDNAs were mixed together and this acted as the control. Each daughter strains were considered as sample and they were labelled with AF645. Hybridisations were done between C. jejuni HPC5 and C. jejuni HPC5 as one of the sample and each of the daughter strains in triplicates. The supplementary files (linked at the foot of this record) contain the summary of the replicate data of the corresponding strain (3 replicates/strain) which have been averaged.
