  • 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...

    Babrak, Lmar
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium avium subsp hominissuis (MAH) is an opportunistic environmental pathogen that causes respiratory and gastrointestinal illness in immunocompromised persons such as those with chronic respiratory diseases or AIDs, respectively. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung infections, including in cystic...

  • 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...
