CONSTRUCTION OF MICROARRAYS FOR E. COLI O157:H7

Objective

The objectives of this cooperative research project are to construct gene microarrays for E. coli O157:H7 strain EDL933. These microarrays will be used to identify differences in gene expression of E. coli O157:H7 that are grown or exposed to different environmental conditions both in vivo and in vitro. E. coli O157:H7 genes that are preferentially expressed in vivo will be candidates for further evaluation to determine their specific role in colonization, survival, and persistence in cattle.
