Microarray expression profiling and the development of data- needed to identify significantly regulated genes [14••,15•,16•].

Expression profiles obtained from bacteria non-pathogenic model systems Escherichia coli K-12 [17–23], grown in media simulating host microenvironments yield a portrait Bacillus subtilis [24] and Caulobacter crescentus [25]. of interacting metabolic pathways and multistage developmentalprograms and disclose regulatory networks. The analysis of This review focuses on two aspects of bacterial pathogenicity, closely related strains and species by microarray-based gleaned from an emerging literature that describes the use comparative genomics provides a measure of genetic variability of genome microarrays to study the biology of infectious within natural populations and identifies crucial differences agents.

Comparisons of this kind employ a encoding a polyketide synthase and three encoding microarray containing representations of all the ORFs of putative transcriptional regulators. Remarkably, strains the sequenced, reference strain and labeled DNA from that had sustained the most deletions were less likely to the unsequenced, experimental strain.
