Biased partitioning of the multidrug efflux pump AcrAB-TolC underlies long-lived phenotypic heterogeneity

T Bergmiller, AMC Andersson, K Tomasek, E Balleza… - Science, 2017 - science.org
The molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation in isogenic bacterial populations
remain poorly understood. We report that AcrAB-TolC, the main multidrug efflux pump of …

Local genetic context shapes the function of a gene regulatory network

A Nagy-Staron, K Tomasek, C Caruso Carter… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Gene expression levels are influenced by multiple coexisting molecular mechanisms. Some
of these interactions such as those of transcription factors and promoters have been studied …

Lack of cations in flow cytometry buffers affect fluorescence signals by reducing membrane stability and viability of Escherichia coli strains

K Tomasek, T Bergmiller, CC Guet - Journal of biotechnology, 2018 - Elsevier
Buffers are essential for diluting bacterial cultures for flow cytometry analysis in order to
study bacterial physiology and gene expression parameters based on fluorescence signals. …

Type 1 piliated uropathogenic Escherichia coli hijack the host immune response by binding to CD14

K Tomasek, A Leithner, I Glatzova, MS Lukesch… - Elife, 2022 - elifesciences.org
A key attribute of persistent or recurring bacterial infections is the ability of the pathogen to
evade the host’s immune response. Many Enterobacteriaceae express type 1 pili, a …

Pathogenic Escherichia coli hijack the host immune response

K Tomasek - 2021 - research-explorer.ista.ac.at
Bacteria-host interactions represent a continuous trade-off between benefit and risk. Thus,
the host immune response is faced with a non-trivial problem–accommodate beneficial …

M Pleška - 2017 - core.ac.uk
… ; Kathrin Tomasek for keeping the entropic forces in check and for her FACS virtuosity;
Isabella Tomanek for always being nice to me, no matter how much bench space I took from her. …

[PDF][PDF] On the nature of gene regulatory design-The biophysics of transcription factor binding shapes gene regulation

C Igler - 2019 - scholar.archive.org
Decades of studies have revealed the mechanisms of gene regulation in molecular detail.
We make use of such well-described regulatory systems to explore how the molecular …

High-content screening identifies a critical role for P pili in early adhesion of uropathogenic Escherichia coli to bladder cells

T Simonet, O Rutschmann, K Sharma, T Nass… - 2022 - researchsquare.com
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) are notoriously
difficult to treat due to the ability of UPEC to adhere to and invade urothelial bladder cells…
