Project description:Gene content comparison of control C. jejuni subsp. jejuni strain 11168 which colonizes and causes disease in C57BL/6 IL-10-/- mice versus C. jejuni strains D6844, D6845, D6846, D6847, D6848, D6849, D0121, D0835, D2586, D2600,33560 and NW in the C57BL/6 IL-10-/- mice. Keywords: DNA/DNA comparison
Project description:Using WGBS we investigated blood DNA methylation profiles of German Shepherd and determined putative regulatory elements (unmethlated regions (UMRs) and lowly methylated regions (LMRs).
Project description:Transcriptional profile of C. jejuni NCTC11168 while growing in MEM medium containing L-fucose. We hypothesize that certain C. jejuni strains, containing A certain genomic island, have acquired the ability to metabolize fucose. This study demonstrates the transcriptional profile C. jejuni growth while utilizing fucose.
Project description:C. jejuni HPC5 is a Campylobacter strain isolated from chickens. Following bacteriophage CP34 treatment on chickens colonised by C. jejuni HPC5, a series of CP34 insensitive strains like C. jejuni HPC5 R14 and C. jejuni HPC5 R20 were obtained which compromised their ability to colonise chickens. Reintroduction of C. jejuni HPC5 R14 and R20 in to chickens led to reversion of these strains and the MRPs of the revertant strains fell in to different classes termed C. jejuni HPC5 R14A, R14B, R20A, R20B and R20C and these strained were tested positive for colonisation proficient and bacteriophage sensitive.
Project description:While growing in the human intestine, C. jejuni grows within the mucus layer. The largest constituents of this layer are the large mucin glycoproteins. A transcriptomic profile of C. jejuni NCTC11168 growing in a mucin-containing minimal medium seeks to describe the effect of the presence of mucin proteins on the transcriptome of C. jejuni.
Project description:We performed microarray CGH analysis of 104 neuropathogenic and enteritis only stains of C. jejuni. Keywords: Individual hybridizations, CGH
