Network Motifs and E. coli

Network motifs are small connected subnetworks within a larger network that occur in statistically significant quantities and may indicate functional regions of the network. Network motif software tools employ algorithms that compare a network to randomly generated networks in order to identify subnetworks that occur in frequencies higher than would be expected by random chance. The transcripti...

Biocide Resistance in E. coli

More than 40,000 cases of food-borne infection by the bacteria Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, and E. coli, resulting in about 500 deaths, occur every year in the United States (Cohen & Tauxe, 1986). These infections result from contact with contaminated beef products, poultry, eggs, or water. In response to consumer concern about unsafe foods and other sources of infection, manufact...

Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) pathogenesis

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotype O157:H7 is a human pathogen responsible for outbreaks of bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) worldwide. Conventional antimicrobials trigger an SOS response in EHEC that promotes the release of the potent Shiga toxin that is responsible for much of the morbidity and mortality associated with EHEC infection. Cattle are a natural r...
