Quantitative Analysis of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis and Mycobacterium abscessus subs. abscessus Proteome in Response to Antibiotics and During Exposure to Different Environmental Conditions

Creator:

Rojony, Rajoana

Abstract:

M. avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) and M. abscessus subsp. abscessus (MAB) both belong to the clinically important non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) group that infect immunocompromised patients with AIDS and individuals with underlining lung conditions such as bronchiectasis or cystic fibrosis. The main challenge of treating MAH and MAB patients is an...

Characterization of Membrane Vesicles Released by the Opportunistic Human Pathogen Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) in Response to an in vitro System Mimicking the Phagosomal Environment

Creator:

Chiplunkar, Sanket S.

Abstract:

Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) belongs to the most-clinically significant non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pathogens with constant increase in disease prevalence, mainly in several industrialized western countries where tuberculosis is less prevalent. Upon entry into the alveolar space, MAH is engulfed by resident-macrophages, where the pathogen adapts to the hostile phagosomal...
