Project description:Global alterations in trimethoprim (TMP) resistant E. coli are unknown. TMP resistant E. coli have been developed in the laboratory over a period of 48 hours by step-wise increase in TMP concentration and gene expression profiles have been obtained to identify genome wide perturbations in trimethoprim resistance. Biological duplicates of wild-type E. coli MG1655, E. coli resistant to 2 ug/ ml TMP (4xR) and E. coli resistant to 16 ug/ml TMP (32xR) were analyzed.
