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) -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
