Project description:Genetic variability of transcript abundance in pig skeletal muscle at slaughtering. The 325 pigs (females and barrows) used in gene expression analyses are part of a larger F2 population of 1,000 animals, setup within the framework of a QTL detection program. These animals were produced as a second generation intercross between two commercial sire lines (F016, Pietrain type line, and FH019, synthetic line from Hampshire, Duroc and Large-White founders, FRANCE-HYBRIDES, St Jean de Braye, France).
Project description:Campylobacter spp. cause food-borne illnesses worldwide due to contaminated food and cross-contamination. This is at least partly the result of Campylobacter resistance in the food production chain, as modern food production facilitates the emergence and spread of resistance through intensive use of antimicrobials and international trade in raw materials and food products. The biofilm 'lifestyle' of Campylobacter contributes to this spread as it enables them to withstand stress in the environment both outside and inside the host. Campylobacter adhesion and biofilm formation has major implications for the food industry, where biofilms can be persistent sources of contamination. Lavender essential oil, ethanol extracts, and its main compounds (linalool, linalyl acetate) reduce the AI-2 biosensor response in Vibrio harveyi without lowering AI-2 levels or affecting the luxS gene in Campylobacter jejuni. This suggests lavender compounds may block AI-2 detection—likely by interfering with its receptor—offering a natural strategy to disrupt bacterial communication, biofilm formation, and virulence.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling between two different skeletal muscles (Longissimus and Semimembranosus) in pig The 90 pigs (females and barrows) used in gene expression analyses are part of a larger F2 population of 1,000 animals, setup within the framework of a QTL detection program. These animals were produced as a second generation intercross between two commercial sire lines (F016, Pietrain type line, and FH019, synthetic line from Hampshire, Duroc and Large-White founders, FRANCE-HYBRIDES, St Jean de Braye, France).
Project description:Campylobacter jejuni causes food- and water-borne gastroenteritis, and as such must survive passage through the stomach in order to reach the gastrointestinal tract. While little is known about how C. jejuni survives transit through the stomach, its low infectious dose suggests it is well equipped to sense and respond to acid shock. In this study, the transcriptional profile of C. jejuni NCTC 11168 was obtained after exposure to in vitro acid shock. Keywords: acid shock; in vitro study; time course

While little is known about how C. jejuni survives transit through the stomach, its low infectious dose suggests it is well equipped to sense and respond to acid shock. In this study, the transcriptional profile of C. jejuni NCTC 11168 was obtained after exposure to in in vivo (piglet stomach) acid shock.
