Project description:Salmonella spp. biofilms have been implicated in persistence in the environment and plant surfaces. In addition, Salmonella is able to form biofilms on the surface on cholesterol gallstones. The ability of Salmonella spp. on these surfaces is superior to biofilm formation on surfaces on glass or plastic. Thus, we hypothesized that Salmonella gene expression is specific during biofilm development on cholesterol surfaces.

The ability of Salmonella spp. on these surfaces is superior to biofilm formation on surfaces on glass or plastic. Thus, we hypothesized that Salmonella gene expression is specific during biofilm development on cholesterol surfaces. Flow through assays were performed whereby S. Typhimurium was inoculated into chambers coated with glass or cholesterol. At 24h post-inoculation, planktonic (from the flow through), biofilms (from glass or cholesterol) were collected. Thus we had 4 samples: Planktonic (2) and Biofilms (2), each with 2 biological replicates
Project description:This experiment set includes 64 arrays representing 26 serovars and strains of Salmonella spp. including many representatives of subspecies I, Arizona from subsp. IIIa, and S. bongori from subsp. V. The genomic DNA from all strains were labeled with Cy5 and hybridized against an equal amount (1.5 ug) of S. typhimurium SL1344 reference genomic DNA that was labeled with Cy3, all on an S. typhimurium SL1344 spotted DNA microarray. Most of the arrays are present in triplicate to account for variability in probe generation, hybridization, and slide quality. Several are represented in duplicate, and a few without any replicates. Set of arrays organized by shared biological context, such as organism, tumors types, processes, etc. Keywords: Logical Set
Project description:Purpose: Searching for sRNAs in Salmonella pullorum by RNA sequencing and exploring their functions.Methods: High-throughput sequencing of RNA extracted from Salmonella pullorum under normal growth conditions to detect newly discovered sRNAs, followed by experiments to verify their functions.Results: The proportion of Clean Reads of this sequencing was >65%, and the base Q30s were all above 85%, indicating that the sequencing quality is good and can be used for subsequent analysis. The sRNAscanner software predicted that 148 new sRNAs might exist on the reference genome of Salmonella fowl dysentery, and the reads obtained from sequencing were compared to the genome, and it was found that 110 out of the 148 newly predicted sRNAs could be detected.Conclusions: sRNAs are widely found in bacteria and are involved in many physiological processes. In this study, we detected new sRNAs in Salmonella pullorum by RNA-seq, which lays the foundation for the subsequent investigation of the regulatory functions of sRNAs in bacteria.
Project description:Salmonella VNP20009 gene MsgA is related to the virulence of Salmonella, and the mutation of this gene will significantly weaken the virulence of Salmonella. To explore the protein profile changes after MsgA mutation by proteomic sequencing.
Project description:To have a global picture of the miRNAs regulated upon Salmonella infection, we assessed small RNA changes, by RNA-sequencing, of HeLa cells infected with Salmonella Typhimurium compared with mock-treated cells . In addtion to the total population, we evaluated miRNA expression in the fraction of HeLa cells with internalized bacteria (Salmonella-positive), as well as in bystander cells, separated by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS)
