Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium cause disseminated disease in immunocompromised people such as AIDS patients. Subsequent to crossing the intestinal epithelium, M. avium thrive within vacuoles in macrophages. The bacteria exhibit a different, more invasive, phenotype after being in macrophages compared to M. avium from laboratory conditions. We hypothesized that this intracellular phenotype...

Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium is a ubiquitous environmental organism found in water and soil. It can cause disease in patients with pre-existing pulmonary conditions, immunocompromised patients with the most prevalent being AIDS patients, as well as apparently healthy people. Studies have indicated that, upon macrophage uptake, Al. avium prevents phagosome-lysosome fusion, thus...

Creator:: Tripathi, Sanjai T.
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium is an intracellular pathogen that is associated with disseminated infection, especially in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It appears that patients with AIDS acquire M. avium mostly through the intestinal tract, and that bacteria enter the intestinal wall at the terminal ileum. Previous studies have found that...

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...

Abstract:: The human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis displays different phenotypes between serovars both in vivo and in vitro. The study of chlamydial biology has been hampered by the lack of a tractable genetic system. Here, chlamydial isolates with known phenotypes as well as strains generated though recombination were fully sequenced to address...

Creator:: Raju, Deepa
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates producing enterotoxin (CPE) are an important cause of both food poisoning (FP) and non food borne gastrointestinal diseases (NFBGID) in both humans and animals. C. perfringens type A food poisoning is caused by isolates carrying the CPE encoding gene (cpe) on the chromosome while the...

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...
