Novel experimental Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection model mimicking long-term host–pathogen interactions in cystic fibrosis
The dominant cause of premature death in patients suffering from cystic fibrosis (CF) is chronic lung infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The chronic lung infection often lasts for decades with just one clone. However, as a result of inflammation, antibiotic treatment and different niches in the lungs, the clone undergoes significant genetic changes, resulting in diversifying geno- and pheno...

rides; alginate, Psl, and Pel. The alginate and Pel pathways share characteristics of a lipid-carrier-independent mechanism similar to the biosynthetic complexes of bacterial cellulose and Pga systems. A lipid-carrier-dependent mechanism is consistent with the Psl pathway, comparable to the E. coli capsular synthesis pathways. A framework for additional experimentation is described and question...
متن کاملIn vivo bacterial protease production during Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal infection.
PURPOSE To establish if active pseudomonal proteases are present in vivo during corneal infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and to determine if the mouse strains used in these and previous studies have the ability to mount a nonocular antibody response to the purified proteases because antibodies to the bacterial proteases were not detected previously during in vivo ocular infection. METHOD...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa infection of zebrafish involves both host and pathogen determinants.
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) have a number of strengths as a host model for infection, including genetic tractability, a vertebrate immune system similar to that of mammals, ease and scale of laboratory handling, which allows analysis with reasonable throughput, and transparency, which facilitates visualization of the infection. With these advantages in mind, we examined whether zebrafish could be u...
متن کاملAnalysis of Pseudomonas aeruginosa corneal infection using an oligonucleotide microarray.
PURPOSE To compare the early gene expression pattern of normal versus Pseudomonas aeruginosa-infected corneas in resistant (cornea heals) versus susceptible (cornea perforates) mice. METHODS A microarray analysis of normal versus postinfection (PI) day 1 BALB/c and B6 corneas was performed with a murine gene microarray. Real-time RT-PCR was used to confirm the microarray pattern selectively. ...
