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: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:The intention of this study is to analyse the effect of antibiotics on the gene expression of Escherichia coli. Shaking-flask cultivations of Escherichia coli K12GFP-UTL2 were carried out with a medium containing nalidixic acid. Cultures with antibiotic-free medium, which were run in an identical way, served as reference. Samples were taken at different times during the cultivations, the RNA was isolated and hybridised on whole genome yeast microarrays. Keywords: Influence of toxins on gene expression in E. coli
Project description:Expression level of whole genome genes in Escherichia coli CC72 at early-exponential phase, and 10 min, 20 min and 45 min after osmotic stress. Venus was fused to the 3' end of rpoC in E. coli MG1655 to localize RNA polymerase as reported previously (C. Cagliero and D. J. Jin, 2013).

Project description:Whole genome sequences of MDR E. coli from blood stream infections
Project description:Purpose: In this study, Escherichia coli DH5alpha whole transcriptome sequencing was performed in order to compare the different gene expression profiles between control and exposed to Wi-Fi radiofrequency radiations. Methods:Escherichia coli DH5alpha were exposed to Wi-Fi radiations. Total RNA samples( control and exposed ) were extracted by bacteria protect-Rneasy kit,treated with DNAase and subjected to sequnecing using an Illumina-NovaSeq 6000 platform. Library preparation and sequencing were performed by Macrogen (south korea).Trimmed reads are mapped to reference genome with Bowtie. HTseq was used for expression profiling. Expression profile was calculated for each sample and gene as read count.
Project description:Treatment failures of antibiotic therapy are of major concern and can be caused by a misalignment of the antibiotic susceptibility determined in vitro with the behaviour of the pathogen in the patient. The aim of this study was to investigate the transcriptomic response of the uropathogenic strain E. coli CFT073 to antibiotic treatment in blood stream infection (BSI) models in order to understand and avoid antibiotic therapy failures in urosepsis treatments. Blood stream infection models were established by growing E. coli CFT073 in pooled human blood with and without ciprofloxacin. The antibiotic challenge was introduced at mid-logarithmic phase of growth of the organism to depict a clinical scenario. The responses were quantified by comparing to the responses at a given time point without the challenge. Global gene expression profiling of these conditions was examined using commercial DNA microarrays. The organismâ??s metabolic genes appeared to be regulated differently in each medium, this indicated that the bacterial growth regulation were different between the models. Bacterial growth in human serum mainly involved regulations of amino acid synthesis/utilisation such as glycine, arginine, thiamine, regulations of fimbrial proteins and bacteriophage genes. When comparing the responses to antibiotic challenge, bacteria grown in the respective medium displayed specific responses to the antibiotic challenge which were not seen in the other media. The common functions of genes that responded to the ciprofloxacin challenge were SOS response, DNA repair, DNA replication, fimbrial genes and bacteriophage initiation. A subset of the bacteriophage genes showed similar responses between the three models. From genes that were differentially regulated, responses observed in the serum model appeared to have the highest fold changes. In this study we established new models to investigate blood stream infections. They have been used to identify previously unknown differences in the molecular response to antibiotic treatment by the uropathogenic E. coli CFT073 depending on the media. These unique responses will help to unravel the complexity of bloodstream infection and can help to improve the antibiotic therapy that is used. A 10 array study using total RNA recovered from bacteria that were grown in human whole blood, with and without ciprofloxacin challenge. Arrays were performed in 5 biological replicates from each condition.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 ∆arcA mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain produce a strain lacking the ArcA protein. The results are further described in the manuscript The response regulator ArcA uses a diverse binding site architechture to globally regulate carbon oxidation in E. coli
Project description:Epigenetic changes such as DNA methylations regulate gene expression patterns in response to environmental cues including infections. Microbial infections induced DNA methylation may play a potential role in modulating host-immune response. In the present study, we sought to determine DNA methylation changes induced by the mastitis causing Escherichia coli (E coli) in porcine mammary epithelial cells (PMEC). Two time points (3hr and 24 hr) were selected based on the specific transcriptomic changes as early and late phase immune responses. Genome-wide methylation information was obtained to identify significant differential methylation patterns in E coli infected PMEC.
