Project description:The aim of this experiment was to determine if the development of resistance to antibiotics can be driven by the concentration and speciation of Cu. Experimental setup was designed to investigate two hypotheses for which two strains of Gram- bacteria have been selected: - Do TE enhance AR in resistant bacteria? Resistant strain: Bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (Xen41, Tetracycline resistant) - Do TE induce AR in sensitive bacteria? Sensitive strain: Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 (Wild Type)

Project description:We report the application of RNA sequencing to assess the expression dynamics of miRNAs and their isoforms over time upon infection with a panel of six intracellular bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing strain GC1237, Mycobacterium bovis BCG, Salmonella typhimurium strain Keller, Staphloccocus epidermidis and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis)
Project description:Natural transformation, as one of the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) modes of bacteria, allows bacteria to actively uptake foreign DNA under natural conditions and integrate it into their genome through homologous recombination. Natural transformation plays an vital role in the rapid spread of pathogen virulence factors and resistance genes, resulting in the emergence of multidrug resistant or highly pathogenic strains.To investigate the mechanism by which tfoX regulates the natural transformation process of Glaesserella parasuis, comparative proteomics studies were performed on the parent wild strain SC1401 and the tfoX deficient strain.
