Associate Professor Hamamoto and others succeeded in elucidating the details of the gene expression status of pathogens infecting mice [Medical and Fungal Research Center]

Hiroshi Hamamoto, Associate Professor the Teikyo University Institute of Medical Mycology, and Kazuhisa Seki, a specially appointed Professor at the Department of Silkworm Drug Discovery, Faculty of Faculty of Pharma-Science, investigated the details of the gene expression state of pathogens in mice infected with pathogenic bacteria from infected host organs. We have established a "two-stage disruption method" for recovery, and have succeeded in comprehensively analyzing gene expression in the host environment of Staphylococcus aureus using a next-generation sequencer. The paper was also published in "Communications Biology" on Friday, July 21, 2022.
By targeting the mechanism necessary for manifesting pathogenicity discovered by this research, it is expected to contribute to the development of new treatments and therapeutic agents.
