Project description:This study aims to determine the epidemiology of Enterobacteriaceae resistant to antibiotics of last resort in pregnant women in labour at a tertiary hospital, Pretoria, South Africa. Rectal swabs shall be used to screen for colonisation with CRE and colistin-resistant Enterobacteriales in pregnant women during labour. Carbapenem and colistin-resistant Enterobacterales can cause the following infections: bacteraemia; nosocomial pneumonia; urinary tract infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Due to limited treatment options, infections caused by these multidrug-resistant organisms are associated with a mortality rate of 40-50%. Screening for colonisation of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and colistin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae will help implement infection and prevention measures to limit the spread of these multidrug-resistant organisms.
Project description:Purpose: To detect the diffirential expressed genes in LNCaP cells transfected with VIM-AS1 overexression vetor and control pcDNA3.1 vector Method: Transcriptome sequencing was sued to detect the diffirential expressed genes in LNCaP cells transfected with VIM-AS1 overexression vetor and control pcDNA3.1 vector Results :We performed transcriptome sequencing to identify the target genes in VIM-AS1 overexpressed LNCaP cells and normal control. 67 genes were found statistically up-regulated more than two-fold and 187 genes were found statistically down-regulated more than two-fold in VIM-AS1 overexpressed LNCaP cells Conclusion:Our study represents the first detailed analyasis of transcriptomes in LNCaP cells with VIM-AS1 overexpression and control cells.
