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....

Characterization of the pathogenicity and phylogeny of members of the Rhodococcus genus

Creator:

Creason, Allison L.

Abstract:

Plant pathogenic Rhodococcus species are persistent pathogens able to cause severe growth deformities on a large range of hosts. The most well studied species, R. fascians is predicted by current models to synthesize a mixture of cytokinins that act to directly perturb the hosts' hormone balances, which results in abnormal...
