Project description:Global endemic infections, such as leptospirosis, rickettsial diseases, and dengue infections present diagnostic challenges, posing a dilemma for antibiotic stewardship worldwide. The goal of this project was to identify accurate transcriptional classifiers able to discriminate between bacterial and viral illness of global pathogens.
Project description:Leptospirosis is a re-emerging zoonosis, a globally important infectious disease, caused by an infection with the genus Leptospira. Leptospirosis is associated with acute kidney injury and progress to CKD due to sustained tubulointerstitial inflammation. Macrophages play a critical role in controlling the bacterial burden and tissue inflammation during the spirochete infections. To understand the molecular mechanisms of leptospia-induced macrophage activation and its role in the inflammatory process, we performed the transcriptome profiles of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages infected with pathogenic and non-pathogenuc Leptospira spp.at a multiplicity of infection of 100 for 2 and 24 hrs, respectively.
Project description:Leptospirosis is a neglected zoonotic disease of global importance. Despite its prevalence, pathogenesis is still poorly understood. Recent discoveries have placed miRNAs in the regulation of the infection process of several bacterial diseases. Here, we suggest that post-transcriptional regulation, mediated by miRNAs, may play a role in host response to infection in leptospirosis in a species and virulence-specific manner.

Project description:Leptospirosis is a neglected zoonotic disease of global importance. Despite its prevalence, pathogenesis is still poorly understood. Our aim was to discover transcripts responsable for pathogenicity of leptospirosis. We compared the transcriptome profiles of saprophyte, attenuated and virulent strain of Leptospira spp.
