Project description:Despite the characterization of many aetiologic genetic changes. The specific causative factors in the development of sporadic colorectal cancer remain unclear. This study was performed to detect the possible role of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in developing colorectal carcinoma.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of wt and ler- EPEC and O157 E. coli strains at mid log and early stationary growth phases wt vs. Ler- at OD 0.3 and 0.9. Biological replicates: 4 independently grown. Four replicates per array.
Project description:In order to identify genes that were differentally regulated upon oral infection with EPEC, we isolated 8 days post-infection intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from the small intestine of C57BL/6 neonate mice that were left untreated or orally infected with 5x104 WT EPEC E2348/69 or with 5x104 of the isogenic mutant ΔescV on their first day of life.
Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in colon is associated with psychiatric disorders.
