In this study, we successfully developed two gel-free approaches to specifically look at cell wall proteins in Mycobacterium smegmatis. The cell wall was subjected to differential centrifugation, differential detergent solubilisation and phase separation to yield the genuine cell wall proteome. The ...
Streptococcus suis is a major pig pathogen as well as an emerging zoonotic pathogen. We studied the generic and adaptive resistance response of S. suis upon exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of the human cathelicidin LL-37. We aimed to search for inducible mechanisms of resistance to AMPs as wel...
To see the effect of sub-lethal concentration of tobramcyin on PAO1 under anaerobic conditions. RNA was isolated from 5 biological repeats of PAO1 grown to mid-log phase in cationic adjusted mueller hinton broth containing 15mM KNO3 and 5 biological repeats of PAO1 grown to mid-log phase in cationi...
In this study, we used mass spectrometry-based discovery proteomic analysis to examine the cell-wide changes of Mycobacterium smegmatis, in response to sub-lethal concentrations of H2O2 and nitric oxide (NO) over time. Preliminary results have shown that sub-lethal concentrations of reactive oxyge...
Drug susceptible Mycobacterium smegmatis (Mc2-155) was exposed to a sub-MIC concentration of antimycobacterial drug Rifampicin (treated) or DMSO (control). Cells were harvested at 30, 255 and 300 minutes post-exposure and the proteome at each time analysed using LC-MS/MS on a Thermo Q-Exactive.
Genomic alterations in Burkholderia vietnamiensis strain G4 exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of ethylzingerone identified by whole-genome sequencing analysis.
This study investigates how sub-lethal concentrations of rifampicin act as a signalling stimulus that induces phenotypic drug tolerance in mycobacteria. Using Mycobacterium smegmatis as a fast-growing model and validating findings in the attenuated Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra strain, we examine...
