  • Molecular and genetic assessment of selected antiporters and methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins in Vibrio cholerae

    Creator:
    Quinn, Matthew J.
    Abstract:
    The pathogen Vibrio cholerae uses cations as a primary currency of virulence and environmental persistence, using gradients of those cations to move, acquire nutrients, and control virulence gene expression. An understanding of the overlapping roles of bioenergetics and chemotaxis in the virulence and environmental survival of V. cholerae issues from...

  • 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...

  • Analysis of Bacteroidales 16S rRNA gene sequences from a geographically isolated human population

    Creator:
    Petersen, Carolyn A.
    Abstract:
    Standard methods of measuring fecal pollution in water do not distinguish between human and non-human sources. Molecular technology enabled the development of host-specific markers that distinguish fecal sources. Human specific PCR primers, HF183F and HF134F, were designed based on phylogenetic analyses of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the Bacteroidales...
