Streptococcus pneumoniae early response genes to human lung epithelial cells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated pneumococcal genes that are involved in the early stage of interaction with host epithelial cells, using TIGR (JCVI) microarray technology.
The growth phase-dependent regulation of the pilus locus genes by two-component system TCS08 in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors constructed TCS08 knockout mutants in a serotype 4 encapsulated pathogenic strain TIGR4, and investigated target genes regulated by TCS-08 through transcriptional profile analysis.

TL;DR: The data suggest that divergent gene expression changes occur in S. pneumoniae pathogenic and avirulent strains during interaction with human lung epithelial cells, some of those genes are involved in pneumococcal pathogenesis.

Effects of treatments with Apivar® and Thymovar® on V. destructor populations, virus infections and indoor winter survival of Canadian honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies
Yahya Al Naggar,Yang Tan,Colton Rutherford,Wayne Connor,Philip J. Griebel,John P. Giesy,Albert J. Robertson +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest volatile miticides like Thymovar® should be avoided in geographical areas with colder fall temperatures and the group treated with Apivar® exhibited a better overwintering rate of survival, than hives treated with Thymavar®.
Transcriptome studies on Streptococcus pneumoniae, illustration of early response genes to THP-1 human macrophages.
TL;DR: Analysis of transcriptomes of one Streptococcus pneumoniae TIGR4-derived unencapsulated strain upon exposure to THP-1 human macrophage-like cells indicates that the SP1057-SP1063 locus is involved in the early stage of interaction with host macrophages.
