| In this project a comparison is made of stressed and nonstressed host in their response on pathogenic microbes (Salmonella) that colonise the intestine. In particular, an investigation will be made of (i) the molecular cross-talk between the pathogen, the intestinal flora, the intestine and the defence mechanisms active in the intestine, using DNA-microarrays, and (ii) the ability of the host to withstand infection. |
