Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Escherichia coli MG1655 K-12 ∆fnr mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain produce a strain lacking the FNR protein.
Project description:To investigate the regulatory targets of the RegR virulence regulon of rabbit specific enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strain E22
Project description:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the presence of pathogenic Escherichia coli in colon is associated with psychiatric disorders.
Project description:Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli strains frequently cause extra-intestinal infections and are responsible for significant economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. APEC isolates are closely related to human extraintestinal pathogenic E.coli strains and may also act as pathogens for humans. In this work, three type VI secretion systems were deleted to analyze which pathogenicity characteristics would change in the mutants, compared to wild type strain (SEPT 362).
Project description:An experiment to identify the downstream targets of PatE, a prophage encoded AraC-like transcriptional regulator, in transcriptional activation of acid-resistance pathways of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli strain EDL933 using deletion and complementation strains (Delta3 and Delta3_1, respectively).
Project description:Despite the characterization of many aetiologic genetic changes. The specific causative factors in the development of sporadic colorectal cancer remain unclear. This study was performed to detect the possible role of Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) in developing colorectal carcinoma.
