Alp system has a key role in cell lysis of pyocin-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells
Skinner, Trenton (12/15/2022)Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces intraspecific bacteriophage-like killing complexes, called pyocins, in response to DNA damage. The pyocins are only capable of killing nearby, susceptible P. aeruginosa cells. However, to ... -
Analysis of three specializations of forensic science
Edwards, Natali (2022-05-04) -
Blocking the acquisition of the essential iron nutrient in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Kannon, Mamie (2023-05)The Gram-negative opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa), declared by the World health organization as a “Priority 1: Critical Pathogen," needs immediate new tactics for developing antipseudomonal treatments. ... -
Calcium affects host-pathogen interactions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa with lung epithelial cells
Luthra, Deepali (2023-05)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the key bacterial pathogens that cause acute, chronic, and lethalinfections in the lungs of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). P. aeruginosa adheres to the mucosal epithelium of the airways ... -
CT226 and TMOD3 interaction in Chlamydia trachomatis infection
Pruitt, Ryan (2020-10-09)Chlamydia trachomatis is the most commonly reported sexually transmitted infection in the United States. Infection, even after successful treatment, can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy, tubal infertility ... -
Density-dependent mechanism for antibiotic tolerance in rod bacteria
Grinnell, Addison Elaine (2021-07)The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall provides shape and structure to most bacteria. There are two systems to build PG in rod shaped organisms: the elongasome and divisome, which are made up of many proteins including the ... -
Different RsbR paralogs in Bacillus subtilis affect cell viability when exposed to environmental stress
Osborne, Jacob (2020-05-08)Every living organism must find a way to survive stressful situations and bacteria are no different. Bacteria deal with many kinds of stress, including energy stress like starvation or ATP depletion and environmental stress ... -
Exploring environmental adaptations and habitat preferences in three microbial lineages using comparative (meta)genomic approaches
Yadav, Archana (2022-12)The utilization of -omics based approaches (metagenomics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics) in the field of microbiology has greatly advanced our understanding of the microbial world. The utilization ... -
Finding new signaling pathways that govern biofilm formation by P. aeruginosa
Shafer, Samantha (2019-04-26)Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that is often associated with severe forms of many infections, including bronchiectasis and infections in the gut. Mortality is increased in patients who become infected ... -
How do novel nanospring patterns impact bacterial growth?
Kent, Elizabeth (Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-15) -
Impact of toothpaste formulations on tooth decay
Goldsmith, Bryn (Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)There are many species of bacteria that reside in the mouth and comprise the oral flora. One of the species that lead to pathogenesis is Streptococcus mutans (Forssten et al, 2010). S. mutans and other bacteria of the mouth ... -
Regulation of pyocin genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by constitutively repressive PrtR
Killgore, Creed (12/15/2022)Pyocins are bacteriophage tail-like complexes that are produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa under the SOS response of the cell. These molecules are used for intraspecies competition by targeting and killing susceptible ... -
Regulation of the Type III Secretion System by PtsN in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Erdmann, Mary (5/3/2023)There are many virulence factors in Pseudomonas aeruginosa that contribute to this opportunistic pathogen's ability to evade the immune system and persist during drug therapy. Previous studies recognized the protein PtsN ...
