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...

Mechanisms for the interaction of environmental mycobacteria with host cells

Creator:

Harriff, Melanie J.

Abstract:

Environmental mycobacteria are important opportunistic pathogens for many hosts, including humans, cattle, and fish. Two well-studied species are Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, a significant cause of disseminated bacterial disease in patients with AIDS, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the cause of Johne’s disease in cattle. Many other species that are...
