  • 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...

  • Disease models and infectious phenotypes of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis

    Creator:
    Everman, Jamie L.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne's disease, a chronic inflammatory bowel disease that affects ruminant populations worldwide. The characteristic stages of the disease make diagnosis difficult, resulting in silent transmission among animals in a herd for years before proper detection of the infection. The extensive...

  • Further Understanding Mycobacterial Biofilms and Their Interaction with the Host

    Creator:
    Rose, Sasha J.
    Abstract:
    Respiratory infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), especially Mycobacterium avium, can lead to progressive, recurrent disease that is refractory to therapy. Bacterial biofilms are intrinsically resistant to a variety of stressors and pressures, including host killing mechanisms and antibiotic therapy. Though it is becoming increasingly evident that NTM biofilms are...
