FNR is a regulator of Salmonella pathogenicity Island 2 in Salmonella Typhimurium
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Microbiology, 2019)During infection, S. Typhimurium employs Salmonella pathogenicity island (SPI)-encoded type three secretion systems (T3SS) 1 and 2 to invade and survive in host cells. However, expression of SPI-2 is seen at the epithelial ... -
Network rewiring: physiological consequences of reciprocally exchanging the physical locations and growth-phase-dependent expression patterns of the Salmonella fis and dps genes
(2020)The Fis nucleoid-associated protein controls the expression of a large and diverse regulon of genes in Gram-negative bacteria. Fis production is normally maximal in bacteria during the early exponential phase of batch ... -
Understanding the Role of Host Factors in the Modulation of Virulence Factors of Staphylococcus aureus.
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Genetics & Microbiology. Discipline of Microbiology, 2023)Staphylococcus aureus is adept at colonising and infecting the human host. Host factors are known to influence pathogen physiology and this thesis aimed to examine the effects of human bile and human plasmin on S. aureus. ...
