ABSTRACT: Comparison of transcriptional profiling between the 3 Neisseria meningitidis strains [serogroup A (Z2491), Serogroup B (MC58), and Serogroup C (FAM18)] and the 2 Neisseria gonorrhoeae strain (FA1090 and MS11).
Project description:comparison of transcritonal profiling between the 3 strains; Neisseria meningitidis serogroup A (Z2491), Serogroup B (MC58), and Serogroup C (FAM18.
Project description:transcription profiles of two groups each containing 5 strains of Disseminated gonorrhoeae (DG) and Undisseminated (superficial) gonorrhoeae (UG) were compared. An additional set of comparisons was done between 4 strains from group one Disseminated gonorrhoeae (DG) and another 4 strains from the same group.

Project description:Changing antigenic structure such as capsule polysaccharide is a common strategy for bacterial pathogen to evade host immune system. In this regard, the recent emergence of an invasive W:2a:P1.7-2,4 ST-11 strain in New Zealand, which is an uncommon pathogenic serogroup, was investigated for its genetic origins. Molecular typing of 103 meningococcal isolates with similar serotyping characteristics was undertaken to determine genetic relationships. Results indicated that the W:2a:P1.7-2,4 strain had emerged via capsule switching from an existing group C strain (C:2a:P1.7 2,4). Neither of the upstream and downstream sites of recombination could be elucidate but sequence analysis demonstrated that at least 45 kb of DNA was involved in the recombination event. This included the entire capsule gene cluster. Genomic DNA isolated from serogroup C strains (n=4) and serogroup W strains (n=4) were compared using Pan-neisseria DNA microarray.
Project description:P. profundum SS9 strain cells were grown at two different temperatures 4°C and 16°C. RNA extracted from the two different cultures was labelled with Cy5 and Cy3 and competitively hybridized on the same slide.
Project description:P. profundum SS9 strain cells were grown at two different pressure conditions 45 MPa and at 28 MPa. RNA extracted from the two different cultures was labelled with Cy5 and Cy3 and competitively hybridized on the same slide.
Project description:Streptococcus mutans was grown for 48 h in a biofilm in the absence (single species) and in the presence (dual species) of Veillonella parvula. In addition V. parvula single species 48 h biofilms were grown, to be used as a control. RNA was harvested from all types of biofilms and the transcript levels of the two types of biofilms containing S. mutans were compared with the use of S. mutans microarrays. V. parvula RNA was hybridized to S. mutans microarrays as a control for possible cross-hybridisation.
