Aspects of infectious agents and cancer : effects of human Papillomavirus 16 and Escherichia coli on the innate immune defense of human keratinocytes
(2012-11-10)Persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) is the causative agent of cervical cancer and bacterial vaginosis (BV) caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli ) has been implicated as a contributing factor. The innate immune system is ... -
Developing a Multiplex PCR Platform to Determine the Virulence Genes of Escherichia Coli in Boulevard Lake, Thunder Bay, Ontario
Given the evidence that E. coli can establish in the periphytic community and be released back into the water column, it is important to understand the pathogenicity of this group of E. coli by examining the virulence genes ... -
Ecology of pathogenic Escherichia coli in water : survival and molecular detection
(2003)Recently there has been a surge of interest in the ability of enterohemmorhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) to survive in aquatic environments. It has been speculated a correlation may exist between the genotype of an E. ... -
Freeze-thaw effect on selected fecal indicator bacteria : Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis / by Nicole A. Hawdon.
(2008)The survival of two selected fecal indicator organisms, two strains of Escherichia coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, and two strains of Enterococcus faecalis, a Gram-positive bacterium, after freezing and thawing successively ... -
Modeling the transport of Escherichia coli through the subsurface environment
(2009)Subsurface microbial transport is an important concern in many engineering projects. Expanding the knowledge of this process is important for the risk assessment of sites capable of releasing pathogenic bacterial species ... -
One-step inactivation of rpoS to investigate its role on Escherichia coli O157:H7 biofilm formation and survival
(2009)Homologous linear recombination using the recombinogenic capabilites of phage red genes exo, bet and gam, has been used increasingly to generate targeted gene replacements in Gram-negative bacteria. -
Source tracking of escherichia coli in a freshwater lake in Northwestern Ontario (Boulevard Lake, Thunder Bay)
(2013-02-01)Escherichia coli is regularly used as a fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) in recreational waters but its persistence in the environment brings its use into doubt. A secondary FIB known as Bacteroides has been under a lot of ...
