Project description:Manuka honey has been shown to inhibit growth in EMRSA-15 by inhibiting cell division, the mode of actin is currently unclear. We used microarrays to detail the difference in global gene expresson following treatment of cells with honey. We identified distinct classes of up and down regulated genes
Project description:Manuka honey has been shown to inhibit growth in EMRSA-15 by inhibiting cell division, the mode of actin is currently unclear. We used microarrays to detail the difference in global gene expresson following treatment of cells with honey. We identified distinct classes of up and down regulated genes EMRSA-15 were harvested 4 hours after exposure to treatment for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Control and honey treated cells were investigates, three biological replicates were used for each sample.
Project description:The aim of this study was to characterise the transcriptomic changes in P. aeruginosa PA14 following treatment with antimicrobial manuka honey and its key components (sugar, methyglyoxal, sugar + methylglyoxal) for 30 minutes at a subinhibitory concentration (0.5x MIC). mRNA profiling was conducted to gain mechanistic insights into the mode of action of antimicrobial manuka honey.
Project description:Proteomic analysis was performed on both manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) and non-manuka honeys and nectars to identify unique peptide markers which can be used for manuka honey authentication.
