Growth Outcomes Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Inhibitor Of Vertebrate Lysozyme Knockouts In Conditions Mimicking The Cystic Fibrosis Lung Environment, Amani Gaddy Jul 2022

Growth Outcomes Of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Inhibitor Of Vertebrate Lysozyme Knockouts In Conditions Mimicking The Cystic Fibrosis Lung Environment, Amani Gaddy

Master of Science in Chemical Sciences Theses

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is a Gram-negative bacterium, often found in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and can lead to the decline of lung functioning and premature death in 80% of infected patients when microcolonies form within the mucin of the lung. Due to its major capacity for antibiotic resistance, an alternative strategy towards defending against the bacterial invasion of PA is by the antibacterial activity of our own innate immune system with use of elements such as lysozyme. Pseudomonas aeruginosa inhibitor of vertebrate lysozyme class 1 (Ivyp1) is a periplasmic protein produced by gram-negative bacteria that inhibits the enzymatic activity of …
