Project description:To investigate the regulatory targets of the RegR virulence regulon of rabbit specific enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strain E22
Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in colon is associated with psychiatric disorders.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 ∆fnr mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain produce a strain lacking the FNR protein.
Project description:Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strains frequently cause extra-intestinal infections and are responsible for significant economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. APEC isolates are closely related to human extraintestinal pathogenic E.coli strains and may also act as pathogens for humans. In this work, three type VI secretion systems were deleted to analyze which pathogenicity characteristics would change in the mutants, compared to wild type strain (SEPT 362).
