    • Involvement of Skeletal Muscle Gene Regulatory Network in Susceptibility to Wound Infection Following Trauma 

      Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Mindrinos, Michael N.; Xiao, Wenzhong; Tegos, George; Papisov, Mikhail Ivanovich; Hamblin, Michael; Davis, Ronald W.; Tompkins, Ronald Gary; Rahme, Laurence G. (Public Library of Science, 2007)
      Despite recent advances in our understanding the pathophysiology of trauma, the basis of the predisposition of trauma patients to infection remains unclear. A Drosophila melanogaster/Pseudomonas aeruginosa injury and ...
    • Small Molecule Control of Virulence Gene Expression in Francisella tularensis 

      Charity, James Carl; Blalock, LeeAnn T.; Costante-Hamm, Michelle M.; Kasper, Dennis Lee; Dove, Simon L. (Public Library of Science, 2009)
      In Francisella tularensis, the SspA protein family members MglA and SspA form a complex that associates with RNA polymerase (RNAP) to positively control the expression of virulence genes critical for the intramacrophage ...
    • Transmission of Vibrio cholerae Is Antagonized by Lytic Phage and Entry into the Aquatic Environment 

      Chowdhury, Ashrafuzzaman; Flynn, James; Schild, Stefan; Shao, Yue; Qadri, Firdausi; Camilli, Andrew; Nelson, Eric J.; Bourassa, Lori; Larocque, Regina Celes; Calderwood, Stephen Beaven (Public Library of Science, 2008)
      Cholera outbreaks are proposed to propagate in explosive cycles powered by hyperinfectious Vibrio cholerae and quenched by lytic vibriophage. However, studies to elucidate how these factors affect transmission are lacking ...
