Project description:Gene expression profiles of two Pseudomonas aeruginosa taxonomic outlier clinical isolates, CLJ1 and CLJ3 [CLJ3] Pseudomonas aeruginosa taxonomic outliers emerged recently as infectious for humans, provoking hemorrhagic pneumonia. Those bacteria lack classical type III secretion system, and utilize the pore-forming toxin for infection. Two clones CLJ1 and CLJ3 belonging to these taxonomic outliers have been isolated from the same patient at two different times during hospitalization. P. aeruginosa CLJ3 displays antibiotic resistance phenotype, while CLJ1 is more cytotoxic on epithelial and endothelial cells.

Project description:We have isolated and characterized several bacteriophages infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa distantly related to Felix O1 virus and proposed they form a new subfamily named Felixounavirinae. The infectious cycle of bacteriophages belonging to this subfamily has not been studied yet in terms of gene expression. The present study reports the RNA-Seq analysis of bacteriophage PAK_P3 infecting PAK strain of P. aeruginosa. RNA profile of Host and Phage at 0min, 3.5min and 13 min after infection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAK strain with the Pseudomonas phage PAK P3. Three biological replicates for each time point.

Abstract:
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major life-threatening
opportunistic pathogen that commonly infects immunocompromised
patients. This bacterium owes its success as a pathogen largely
to its metabolic versatility and flexibility. A thorough
understanding of P. aeruginosa's metabolism is thus pivotal for
the design of effective intervention strategies. Here we aim to
provide, through systems analysis, a basis for the
characterization of the genome-scale properties of this
pathogen's versatile metabolic network. To this end, we
reconstructed a genome-scale metabolic network of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa PAO1. This reconstruction accounts for 1,056 genes
(19% of the genome), 1,030 proteins, and 883 reactions. Flux
balance analysis was used to identify key features of P.
aeruginosa metabolism, such as growth yield, under defined
conditions and with defined knowledge gaps within the network.
BIOLOG substrate oxidation data were used in model expansion,
and a genome-scale transposon knockout set was compared against
in silico knockout predictions to validate the model.
Ultimately, this genome-scale model provides a basic modeling
framework with which to explore the metabolism of P. aeruginosa
in the context of its environmental and genetic constraints,
thereby contributing to a more thorough understanding of the
genotype-phenotype relationships in this resourceful and
dangerous pathogen.

Project description:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most frequent pathogen dominant in complicated urinary tract infections (UTI). To unravel the adaptation strategies of P. aeruginosa to the conditions in the urinary tract and to define the underlying regulatory network an artificial growth system mimicking the conditions in the urinary tract was established. Transcriptome analyses were used to investigate the physiological status of P. aeruginosa under this conditions.
