Characterization of the interaction between Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis and bovine epithelial cells in culture and identification of invasion-associated genes by transposon mutagenesis

Creator:

Patel, Dilip

Abstract:

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is a cause of Johne's disease (JD) in cattle and other ruminants. MAP infection in the bovine host is not well characterized. It is assumed that crossing the bovine intestinal mucosa is important for MAP to establish infection. MAP's ability to infect bovine epithelial cells...

Abstract:

Spores of foodborne pathogens such as Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium perfringens and Bacillus cereus are widely distributed in nature. Presence of those spores in food products, particularly C. botulinum spores in vacuum packed, ready-to-eat low-acid products, is a great safety concern. The research here described is a first effort towards understanding...
