Project description:We explored the transcriptome change of Streptococcus suis in the presence of manganese by RNA sequencing. The data revealed that the genes in the troABCD operon were significantly downregulated in response to manganese.
Project description:Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. In this study,we evaluated the genetic difference of 40 Streptococcus suis strains belonging to various sequence types by comparative genomic hybridization to identify genes associated with the variation in pathogenicity using NimbleGen’s tilling microarray platform. Application of Comparative Phylogenomics to Identify Genetic Differences Relating to Pathogenicity of Streptococcus suis
Project description:We explored the transcriptome change of Streptococcus suis in the presence of ferrous iron and cobalt by RNA sequencing. The data revealed that expression of a lot of genes was altered to respond to ferrous iron and cobalt toxicity. Moreover, most of the genes differentially expressed in response to cobalt are the same as those in response to ferrous iron.
Project description:Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. In this study,we evaluated the genetic difference of 40 Streptococcus suis strains belonging to various sequence types by comparative genomic hybridization to identify genes associated with the variation in pathogenicity using NimbleGenM-bM-^@M-^Ys tilling microarray platform. Application of Comparative Phylogenomics to Identify Genetic Differences Relating to Pathogenicity of Streptococcus suis Comparative genomic analysis on the 40 S.suis strains of different serotypes and ST types through tilling arrays
Project description:Microarray analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 transcriptome in response to manganese as the transcriptome changes in response to intracellular manganese accumulation via a mutation in sp1552/mntE a manganese efflux protein.
Project description:Identification of Genes and Genomic Islands Correlated with High Pathogenicity through Tilling Microarray-Based Comparative Genomics in S. suis. Streptococcus suis is an important zoonotic pathogen that can cause meningitis and sepsis in both pigs and humans. S. suis isolates have been categorized into groups of different levels of pathogenicity, with sequence type (ST) ST1 clonal complex strains having a higher degree of virulence than other STs. However, the genetic basis of the differences in pathogenicity is still poorly understood. In this study, a comprehensive genomic comparison of 31 S. suis strains from different clinical sources with the genome sequence of the high pathogenicity (HP) strain GZ1 was conducted using NimbleGen’s tilling microarray platform.
Project description:Microarray analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4 transcriptome in response to manganese as the transcriptome changes in response to intracellular manganese accumulation via a mutation in sp1552/mntE a manganese efflux protein. Investigating role of manganese efflux and accumulation in S. pneumoniae: 3 TIGR4 in ThyB vs. TIGR4 in Mn and 3 TIGR4 in Mn vs mntE1 in Mn replicate 3
Project description:We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression changes following apical infection of porcine choroid plexus epithelial cells (PCPEC) with Streptococcus suis (S. suis)
