“Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis” is an opportunistic environmental pathogen that causes respiratory illness in immunocompromised
patients, such as those with cystic fibrosis as well as other chronic respiratory diseases. Currently, there is no
efficient approach to prevent or treat M. avium subsp. hominissuis infection in the lungs. During initial colonization...

Inhibition of apoptotic death of macrophages by Mycobacterium tuberculosis represents an important mechanism of virulence that results in pathogen survival both in vitro and in vivo. To identify M. tuberculosis virulence determinants involved in the modulation of apoptosis, we previously screened a transposon bank of mutants in human macrophages, and...
