Do bacterial pathogens target host nitric oxide during pathogenesis?
Supervisor:
Robert Jackson
School:
Biological Sciences
Department:
Biological Science, Biological Sciences
Nitric oxide (NO) is a key signalling molecule produced by eukaryotes when attacked by pathogens. Some bacteria harbour nitric oxide reductases to break down NO, so this project will test the hypothesis that pathogenic bacteria break down NO to promote pathogenicity.
