Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stres...
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia and bacteraemia and is capable of remarkable phenotypic plasticity, responding rapidly to environmental change. Pneumococcus is a nasopharyngeal commensal, but is responsible for severe, acute infections followin...
Comparison of the Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 lacT mutant compared to D39 wild type in M17 medium+ 0.5 % (w/v) Lactose (LM17) One condition design comparision of two strains including a dye swap
Comparison of the Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 lacR mutant compared to D39 wild type in M17 medium+ 0.5 % (w/v) Glucose (GM17) Two condition design comparison of Wild-type strain including a dye swap
Early detection of pathogenic bacteria is needed for rapid diagnostics allowing adequate and timely treatment of infections. In this study, we show that Secondary Electro-Spray Ionization-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry (SESI-HRMS) can be used as a diagnostic tool for rapid detection of bacterial ...
The Gram-positive human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae possesses an unusually high number of gene clusters specific for carbohydrate utilization. This provides it with the ability to use a wide array of sugars, which may aid during infection and survival in different environmental conditions pres...
Comparison of the Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 celR mutant compared to D39 wild type in M17 medium+ 0.5 % (w/v) Cellobiose (CM17) The human pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae harbors many genes encoding phosphotransferase systems (PTSs) and sugar ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters, including sy...
Comparison of the Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 copY-stop mutant compared to D39 wild type in CDM without added copper One condition design comparision of two strains including a dye swap
Previous studies have indicated that PsaR of Streptococcus pneumoniae is a manganese-dependent regulator, negatively affecting the expression of at least seven genes. Here, we extended these observations by transcriptome and proteome analysis of psaR mutants in strains D39 and TIGR4. The microarray ...
Comparison of the Streptococcus pneumoniae D39 ulaR mutant compared to D39 wild type in M17 medium + 10mM ascorbic acid (AM17) One condition design comparision of two strains including a dye swap
