Project description:Primary objectives: The study investigates whether a Escherichia coli Nissle-suspenison has a (preventive) antidiarrheal effect in patients with tumors who are treated with chemotherapeutic schemes which are associated with increased occurances of diarrhea. Diarrhea caused by treatment are thought to be reduced in intensity and/or frequency by the treatment with Escherichia coli Nissle-Suspension.
Primary endpoints: Common toxicity criteria (CTC) for diarrhea
Project description:The aim of this study was to identify genes that can be targeted by helper drugs to counteract resistance towards ciprofloxacin (CIP). In order to reveal the impact of ciprofloxacin on the transcriptome, differential gene-expression analysis by RNA-seq was performed on the multidrug resistant E. coli strain ST131, treated with a clinically relevant concentration of ciprofloxacin (2 µg/mL).
