Diversity and Versatility in Small RNA-Mediated Regulation in Bacterial Pathogens

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Bacterial gene expression is under the control of a large set of molecules acting at multiple levels. In addition to the transcription factors (TFs) already known to be involved in global regulation of gene expression, small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) are ...

Nitric oxide mediates antimicrobial peptide gene expression by activating eicosanoid signaling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Nitric oxide (NO) mediates both cellular and humoral immune responses in insects. Its mediation of cellular immune responses uses eicosanoids as a downstream signal.

Transcriptomic Biomarkers to Discriminate Bacterial from Nonbacterial Infection in Adults Hospitalized with Respiratory Illness

Scientific Reports, 2017
Lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) commonly causes hospitalization in adults. Because bacterial diagnostic tests are not accurate, antibiotics are frequently prescribed. Peripheral blood gene expression to identify subjects with bacterial infection

The Stringent Response Promotes Antibiotic Resistance Dissemination by Regulating Integron Integrase Expression in Biofilms

mBio, 2016
Class 1 integrons are genetic systems that enable bacteria to capture and express gene cassettes. These integrons, when isolated in clinical contexts, most often carry antibiotic resistance gene cassettes.

TetR Regulated in vivo Repression Technology to Identify Conditional Gene Silencing in Genetically Engineerable Bacteria Using Vibrio cholerae Murine Infections as Model System

Bio-Protocol, 2020
Investigation of bacterial gene regulation upon environmental changes is still a challenging task. For example, Vibrio cholerae, a pathogen of the human gastrointestinal tract, faces diverse transient conditions in different compartments upon oral ...

Saccharomyces boulardii CNCM I-745 Stimulates Intracellular Antimicrobial Activity Against Salmonella Typhimurium in Murine Macrophages

Microorganisms
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST) is an intracellular pathogen that survives within macrophages and disseminates to systemic organs, thereby evading host immune defenses.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Polynucleotide Phosphorylase Contributes to Ciprofloxacin Resistance by Regulating PrtR

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic bacterial pathogen that causes various acute and chronic infections. It is intrinsically resistant to a variety of antibiotics. However, production of pyocins during SOS response sensitizes P.

Effects of Population Dynamics on Establishment of a Restriction-Modification System in a Bacterial Host

Molecules, 2019
In vivo dynamics of protein levels in bacterial cells depend on both intracellular regulation and relevant population dynamics. Such population dynamics effects, e.g., interplay between cell and plasmid division rates, are, however, often neglected in ...
