  • Establishment of an in vitro model to study persistence in Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis

    Creator:
    Armstrong, Elyssa L.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) is the most common pathogen among non-tuberculous mycobacteria, causing disease in immunocompromised individuals.
