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...

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...

Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne’s disease, a chronic granulomatous enteritis that plagues domestic and wild ruminants globally. During the silent stages of Johne’s disease, infected animals intermittently shed bacteria for years prior to clinical diagnosis during advanced disease stages. This strategy allows MAP to...

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...

Creator:: Gorzynski, Mylène
Abstract:: Background: Mycobacterium abscessus (MAB) is a rapidly growing opportunistic pathogen that causes infections in immunocompromised patients. The highly impermeable cell wall and surface transport systems are major contributing factors to MAB intrinsic resistance, influencing the efficacy of bactericidal antibiotics. Phages are promising alternatives to antibiotics and have been used in...
