Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Madeleine G. Scott's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis, particularly concerning the bacterium *Yersinia pestis*. Her work investigates how this pathogen regulates the expression of virulence factors and interacts with host immune responses. Scott has studied the role of specific bacterial proteins, such as BipA, in regulating pesticin production and the type VI secretion system, which is crucial for bacterial competition and virulence. Additionally, her research has explored the regulation of plasminogen activator protease by the PhoP/PhoQ two-component system in *Yersinia pestis*. Her publications also examine the host's immune response, specifically the contribution of Interleukin-17 to neutrophil infiltration in the lungs during pneumonic plague in animal models.
