Project description:Staphylococcus aureus Newman and Staphylococcus epidermidis Tu3298, 20 minutes post challenge with sub-inhibitory concentration of sapienic acid vs equivalent concentration of ethanol. Challenge was added at mid logarithmic growth (OD600 0.5). Biological triplicates of samples were sequenced.
Project description:Young adult fer-15;fem-1 Caenorhabditis elegans were infected with Staphylococcus aureus for 8 h to determine the transcriptional host response to Staphylococcus aureus. Analysis of differential gene expression in C. elegans young adults exposed to two different bacteria: E. coli strain OP50 (control), wild-type Staphylococcus aureus RN6390. Samples were analyzed at 8 hours after exposure to the different bacteria. These studies identified C. elegans genes induced by pathogen infection. Keywords: response to pathogen infection, innate immunity, host-pathogen interactions
Project description:Analysis of Staphylococcus aureus treated by Tanreqing. Staphylococcus aureus cells are evaluated with RNA-seq to understand the genes affected by this antibacterial agent. Our results provide new vision on the mode of action by Tanreqing.
Project description:Analysis of Staphylococcus aureus treated by CDCA. Staphylococcus aureus cells are evaluated with RNA-seq to understand the genes affected by this antibacterial agent. Our results provide new vision on the mode of action by CDCA.
Project description:Staphylococcus aureus is one of the most important pathogens in humans and animals, multiply resistant strains are increasingly widespread, new agents are needed for the treatment of S. aureus. Rhein, a natural plant product, has potential antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. We employed Affymetrix Staphylococcus aureus GeneChipsTM arrays to investigate the global transcriptional profiling of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923 treated with rhein. Results provided insight into mechanisms involved in rhein - Staphylococcus aureus interactions. Keywords: rhein response
Project description:Global gene expression analysis of Staphylococcus aureus following Para-Tertiary Amyl Phenol (PTAP) treatment using Affymetrix GeneChip arrays. Results from this study provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the cellular response of Staphylococcus aureus to PTAP.
Project description:In this study we addressed the question how a mevalonate (MVA)-auxotrophic Staphylococcus aureus ΔmvaS mutant can revert to prototrophy.
