Project description:Transcriptional profiling of two disinfectant-resistant Listeria monocytogenes strains indentified in a Iberian pork plant, S1 [160908] vs S10_1 [160908], in presence of 1.25 mg/L of Benzalkonium chloride
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of two disinfectant-resistant Listeria monocytogenes strains indentified in a Iberian pork plant, S1 [160908] vs S10_1 [160908], in presence of 1.25 mg/L of Benzalkonium chloride One condition experiment, S1 [160908] vs. S10_1 [160908] strains. Biological replicates: 3 replicates of S1 [160908], 3 replicates of S10 [160908].
Project description:The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes uses a number of transcriptional regulators, including the negative regulator CtsR, to control gene expression under different environmental conditions and in response to stress. Gene expression patterns of DctsR log phase cells were compared to both wt and ictsR-mcsA log phase cells grown with 0.5mM IPTG to identify CtsR-dependent genes.We identified 62 CtsR-dependent genes that showed significant expression ratios (adj. P < 0.05), with ≥ 1.5-fold differential expression either between ΔctsR and wt or between ΔctsR and ictsR-mcsA. Keywords: Listeria monocytogenes, CtsR regulon, log phase
Project description:The foodborne pathogen Listeria monocytogenes uses a number of transcriptional regulators, including the negative regulator HrcA, to control gene expression under different environmental conditions and in response to stress. Gene expression patterns of DhrcA stationary phase cells were compared to wt to identify hrcA-dependent genes. We identified 61 HrcA-dependent genes that showed significant expression ratios (adj. P < 0.05), with ≥ 1.5-fold differential expression between ΔhrcA and wt. Combined with microarray analysis, Hidden Markov Model searches show HrcA directly repress at least 8 genes. Keywords: Listeria monocytogenes, HrcA regulon, stationary phase
Project description:Listeria monocytogenes strain 10403S has been studied extensively for stress response activity toward multiple stressors (acid, osmotic, cold, high temperature, etc.) as well as multiple stress regulons (SigB, CtsR, HrcA, etc.). Here we aimed to determine the transcriptional response of Listeria monocytogenes in early log phase towards the strong oxidative stress imposed by ClO2. The elucidation of such a response allows for further a more completel understanding of the mechanism of inactivation by sanitizers, specifically ClO2.
Project description:Transcriptional profling of a Listeria monocytogenes under nisin treatment comparing ctsR mutant and wild type one condition (nisin treament 20ug/ml, 24 hours) experiment, ctsR mutant vs. wild type Listeria monocytogenes Scott A, 2 biological replicates, 4 technical replicates
Project description:Listeria monocytogenes cells (strain LI0521) were digested with trypsin for the identification of surface proteins. The supernatant was filter-sterilized and subjected to identification by LC-MS/MS. Concurrently secreted or shed proteins were identified by isolating filter-sterilized supernatants following incubation of L. monocytogenes cells in buffer without trypsin. This was followed by trypsin digest of the sterilized supernatant and identification by LC-MS/MS.
Project description:Several Toll-like receptors are activated by Listeria monocytogenes infection, resulting in the activation of MyD88 dependent signaling pathway. However, the negative role of MyD88 in gene expresson is unclear. To address this, we performed microarray analysis of mRNAs from WT or MyD88-/- peritoneal macrophages infected with Listeria monocytogenes.
