Q fever, a zoonosis due to Coxiella burnetii infection, exhibits sexual dimorphism; men are affected more frequently and severely than women for a given exposure. Here we explore whether the severity of C. burnetii infection in mice is related to differences in male and female gene expression profil...

BackgroundM-bM-^@M-^TDiagnosis and pronostic assessment are challenging in infective endocarditis (IE). To investigate the host response during IE and identify potential biomarkers, we determined the circulating gene expression profile through a whole genome microarray analysis. Methods and ResultsM...

Rickettsia spp. can cause mild to severe human disease. These intracellular bacteria are associated with arthropods, nematodes and trematodes, and usually, are efficiently transmitted transovarially to the progeny of the invertebrate host. We recently demonstrated foreign gene acquisition by lateral...

Rickettsia conorii, the causative agent of the MSF is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected ticks Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The skin thus constitutes an important barrier for the entry and propagation of R. conorii. Given this, analysis of the survival strategies used by the bacterium within...

Genotyping based on genomic comparative hybridization of different isolates of coxiella burnetii compared to NMI reference strain Two-condition experiment, NMI vs. isolates. One replicate per isolate.

Transcriptional profiling of Coxiella burnetii phase I (RSA 493) submitting either to Cold and Heat shock comparing to control untreated Coxiella burnetii phase I (RSA 493) grown at 35°C. Four experiments : Cold shock 30 min Vs 35°C; Cold shock 60 min Vs 35°C; Heat shock 30 min Vs 35°C; Heat sho...

The formation of granulomas is associated with the resolution of Q fever, a zoonosis due to Coxiella burnetii; however the molecular mechanisms of granuloma formation remain poorly understood. We generated human granulomas with peripheral blood mononuclear cells and beads coated with C. burnetii, us...

Distal gut bacteria play a pivotal role in the digestion of dietary polysaccharides by producing a large number of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) that the host otherwise does not produce. We report here the design of a high density custom microarray that we used to spot non-redundant DNA prob...

Background. Food can affect the microbial balance in the human intestine, and the ingestion of probiotics may play a role in the current obesity pandemic. The objective of our study was to determine if increased Lactobacillus spp. in the intestinal microflora of mice can promote growth and if change...
