Insights from the Genome Annotation of Elizabethkingia anophelis from the Malaria Vector Anopheles gambiae
, 2014
"... Elizabethkingia anophelis is a dominant bacterial species in the gut ecosystem of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae. We recently sequenced the genomes of two strains of E. anophelis, R26T and Ag1, isolated from different strains of A. gambiae. The two bacterial strains are identical with ..."

several hemolysins that may participate in the digestion of erythrocytes in the mosquito gut. At the same time, the OxyR regulon and antioxidant genes could provide defense against the oxidative stress that is associated with blood digestion. The genome annotation and comparative genomic analysis revealed
Role of oxidative stress in persister tolerance
- Antimicrob. Agents Chemother
, 2012
"... Persisters are dormant phenotypic variants of regular cells that are tolerant to antibiotics and play an important role in recalci-trance of chronic infections to therapy. Persisters can be produced stochastically in a population untreated with antibiotics. At the same time, a deterministic componen ..."

also contribute to persister formation. Of particular interest is oxidative stress that pathogens encounter during infection. Activated macrophages produce reactive oxygen and nitrogen species which induce the SoxRS and OxyR regulons. Genes controlled by these regulons deactivate the oxi
Regulation of perR Expression by Iron and PerR
, 2011
"... Campylobacter jejuni is a leading food-borne pathogen causing gastroenteritis in humans. Although OxyR is a widespread oxidative stress regulator in many Gram-negative bacteria, C. jejuni lacks OxyR and instead possesses the metalloregulator PerR. Despite the important role played by PerR in oxidati ..."

Rapid Changes in Gene Expression Dynamics in Response to Superoxide Reveal SoxRS-Dependent and Independent Transcriptional Networks
"... Background. SoxR and SoxS constitute an intracellular signal response system that rapidly detects changes in superoxide levels and modulates gene expression in E. coli. A time series microarray design was used to identify co-regulated SoxRSdependent and independent genes modulated by superoxide minu ..."

was identified through analysis of the SoxS-regulated genes. The SoxRS-independent response included members of the OxyR, CysB, IscR, BirA and Fur regulons. Finally, the relative sensitivity to superoxide was measured in 94 strains carrying deletions in individual, superoxide-regulated genes. Conclusions
RESEARCH ARTICLE Atmospheric Nonthermal Plasma-Treated PBS Inactivates Escherichia coli by Oxidative DNA Damage
"... We recently reported that phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) treated with nonthermal dielec-tric-barrier discharge plasma (plasma) acquires strong antimicrobial properties, but the mechanisms underlying bacterial inactivation were not known. The goal of this study is to understand the cellular response ..."

to plasma-activated PBS is regulated by OxyR and SoxyRS regulons, and mediated predominantly through the expres-sion of katG that deactivates plasma-generated oxidants. During compensation of E. coli in the absence of both katG and katE, sodA and sodB are significantly overexpressed in sam-ples exposed
