Characterization of germinant receptors in Clostridium perfringens non-food-borne isolates

Creator:

Banawas, Saeed S.

Abstract:

C. perfringens is a Gram-positive, spore-forming, anaerobic pathogenic bacterium capable of causing a wide variety of diseases in both humans and animals. However, the two most common illnesses in humans are C. perfringens type A food poisoning (FP) and non-food-borne (NFB) gastrointestinal (GI) illnesses . These two major diseases are...

Surface-exposed proteins in the pathogenesis of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis

Creator:

McNamara, Michael J.

Abstract:

Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is a pervasive environmental bacterium that can cause opportunistic infections in humans. Among the most robust and hardy members of the Mycobacterium genus, M. avium can persist and thrive in a range of challenging environments, including many which place it in direct contact with humans....

The role of chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins in host-pathogen interaction and the development of novel methods for studying chlamydial biology

Creator:

Alzhanov, Damir T.

Abstract:

The majority of our modern understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is based on the strategy that involves screening bacterial genomes for the presence of the genes encoding pathogenic factors, and analysis of these genes via forward and reverse genetics. Chlamydiae represent a unique group of pathogenic bacteria in which it is...
