Abstract:
Acoustic Sensing of Bacterium-Substratum Interfaces
Adam L.J.
Olsson
McGill University
\;
Bacterial adhesion to
surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation is an important phenomenon in ma
ny areas including\, amongst others\, biomedical engineering\, food proces
sing and water treatment. \;Since biofilms essentially originate from
only a few initial bacterial colonizers\, understanding the mechanisms go
verning the initial bacterial adhesion event may help designing surfaces w
ith the ability to manipulate biofilm formation.
This present
ation explores the possibilities to utilize a quartz crystal microbalance
with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) to acoustically sense the mechanical p
roperties of the bacterium-surface interface. The QCM-D is generally consi
dered a mass balance\, where a negative shift in the resonance frequency o
f a quartz crystal sensor is proportional to attached mass. However\, in t
he case of bacterial adhesion\, the surface attached bacterium possesses a
resonance frequency that couples to the oscillation of the sensor surface
. The resulting frequency shift of this “coupled resonance” is either nega
tive or positive\, depending on the ratio between QCM-D resonance frequenc
y and the bacterium resonance frequency which\, in turn\, is determined by
its mass and surface contact stiffness. Thus\, analyzing bacterial adhesi
on in QCM-D within the context of “coupled resonance” offers a unique oppo
rtunity to monitor mechanical properties of bacterium-surface contacts.
Since the quartz sensor is mounted in a temperature controlled
flow module\, and because change in resonance frequency of the sensor is m
onitored in real time\, it possible to follow dynamic changes of the bacte
rium-surface contact during both the initial adhesion event as well as dur
ing subsequent biofilm growth. Another important aspect of the method is t
hat the stiffness\, which is related to bond strength\, is investigated wi
thout detaching the bacteria from the surface\; hence the method is non-de
structive.

\nAbstract: Urinary tract infections (UTI s) are extremely common infections affecting half of all women and contrib uting greatly to antibiotic prescriptions and therefore bacterial antibiot ic resistance. Most UTIs are caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPE C). The study of how UPEC cause UTIs is greatly facilitated by many geneti c and molecular tools available for E. coli in general. However\, these to ols are usually developed in and for cloning or lab-adapted strains of E. coli\, and they are sometimes not usable or not efficient in disease-causi ng clinical isolates such as UPEC.
\nMy lab has developed two new to ols with clinical strains in mind to improve our ability to study UTI. The first improves our ability to manipulate the UPEC chromosome. We have dev eloped a general and modular negative selection (counterselection) system that functions without optimization in multiple clinical isolates of E. co li and Salmonella. Furthermore\, this system functions up to 1000x better than all other reported systems in lab strains of E. coli. This system now enables the convenient creation of definitive genetic constructs directly in UPEC.
\nThe second project improves our ability to detect UPEC d uring infection. We have designed a new GFP protein which we term vGFP tha t demonstrates a 30-50% improvement in bulk brightness while simultaneousl y enabling rational control of dimerization state. vGFP is therefore a bet ter chromosomal reporter than other GFP variants and should improve our de tection sensitivity of UPEC\, which is paramount for tracking UPEC as they move through minor niches during infection.
\nTogether these tools improve our ability to translate our mouse studies into human disease. I w ill conclude with our plans for performing niche-specific\, single-cell re solved\, simultaneous host and pathogen transcriptional profiling in direc t UTI samples. In the future\, this will hopefully allow us to do a full g enomic translation of our lab studies into knowledge about human disease.< /p> DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20141030T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20141030T160000 SUMMARY:Seminar - Swaine Chen: Next generation tools for studying UPEC path ogenesis URL:http://www.ucmr.umu.se/about-ucmr/events/162-ucmr-calendar/164-seminar/ 368-seminar-swaine-chen-next-generation-tools-for-studying-upec-pathogenes is.html X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=TEXT/HTML:

tem\, in particular of the brain\, analysing the molecular mechanisms of i
ts action. In parallel\, they also study the possible role of Sox2 in brai
n tumors. One aim of their studies is to better understand\, through the f
unctional investigation of Sox2\, its role in the hereditary pathology of
the nervous system and in brain tumors\, with possible implications for th
erapy.

Title:
The Sox2 transcription
factor in brain development and in neural tumors: genome-wide studies in n
eural stem cells
Contact: Lena Gunhaga\, UCMM
Room: Lecture Hall Betula\, Bldg 6M Abstract:
Sox2 is a transcription factor essential fo
r pluripotent stem cells\, also active in stem cells of different tissues.
Silvia Nicolis' group investigates the role of Sox2 in the development of
the nervous system\, in particular of the brain\, analysing the molecular
mechanisms of its action. In parallel\, they also study the possible role
of Sox2 in brain tumors. One aim of their studies is to better understand
\, through the functional investigation of Sox2\, its role in the heredita
ry pathology of the nervous system and in brain tumors\, with possible imp
lications for therapy.
