Characterization of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis Interactions with Host Macrophages and Multinucleated Giant Cells

Creator:

Joseph, Jayanthi J.

Abstract:

To examine the macrophage response to M. avium, I compared inflammasome and cytosolic sensor expression and activation. My result demonstrated that virulent strains of M. avium (A5 and 104) suppress IL-1β production and induce IFN-β production in macrophages. M. avium mutants deficient at DNA export in the biofilm exhibited reduced...

Characterizing Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) Microaggregate Induction of Innate Immunity

Creator:

Keefe, Bailey F.

Abstract:

Bacterial aggregation is a strategy employed by many pathogens to establish infection. Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) undergoes a phenotypic change, microaggregation, when exposed to the respiratory epithelium. This aggregation is an important step in the pathogenesis of the infection, laying the foundation for biofilm formation. We therefore compared how...

Characterization of microaggregate formation by Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis

Creator:

Babrak, Lmar

Abstract:

Mycobacterium avium subsp hominissuis (MAH) is an opportunistic environmental pathogen that causes respiratory and gastrointestinal illness in immunocompromised persons such as those with chronic respiratory diseases or AIDs, respectively. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections, including in cystic...
