Project description:In this project we examined the in-vitro effect of female sex hormones (estradiol and progesterone at average physiological concentrations) during a infection mediated by Chlamydia trachomatis serovar D, on the gene expression of human endometrial cell line ECC-1 The effects of the female sex hormones progesterone and oestradiol while infected by Chlamydia trachomatis were examined at two timepoints.
Project description:In this project we examined in-vitro effect of female sex hormones, estradiol and progesterone at average physiological concentration level on Chlamydia trachomatis gene expression level.

Project description:Experimental screening of a compound library identified a molecule that potently inhibits the growth of the obligate intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis in human cells. To identify the molecular target of the compound, three mutant bacterial strains resistant to its inhibitory action were generated by long-term passage in the presence of initially low but increasing concentrations of the molecule. Subsequently, genomic DNA of the three mutant and the wildtype bacteria was isolated and subjected to whole genome sequencing to identify resistance-promoting mutations.
