      Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has been an active field of research motivated by the large number of highly lethal GI cancers. Early GI cancer precursors are often missed during the endoscopic surveillance. The high missed rate of such abnormalities during endoscopy is thus a critical bottleneck. Lack of attentiveness due to tiring procedures, and requirement of training are few contributing factors. ...
    • Microevolution of the mexT and lasR Reinforces the Bias of Quorum Sensing System in Laboratory Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1

      The Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1 has routinely been used as a laboratory model for quorum sensing (QS). However, the microevolution of P. aeruginosa laboratory strains resulting in genetic and phenotypic variations have caused inconsistencies in QS research. To investigate the underlying causes of these variations, we analyzed 5 Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 sublines from our laboratory using a ...
    • The virulence factor regulator and quorum sensing regulate the type I-F CRISPR-Cas mediated horizontal gene transfer in Pseudomonas aeruginosa 

      Ahator, Stephen Dela; Liu, Yang; Wang, Jianhe; Zhang, Lian-Hui (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-09-30)
      Pseudomonas aeruginosa is capable of thriving in diverse environments due to its network of regulatory components for effective response to stress factors. The survival of the bacteria is also dependent on the ability to discriminate between the acquisition of beneficial and non-beneficial genetic materials via horizontal gene transfer (HGT). Thus, bacteria have evolved the CRISPR-Cas adaptive immune ...
