Creator:: Bickell, Jay
Abstract:: Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is a common environmental bacterium that causes infections in immunocompromised patients such as those with HIV/AIDS, or patients with chronic lung disease such as Cystic Fibrosis. There are many strains of MAH with varying levels of virulence. Infection with MAH strains 100 and 104 have...

Abstract:: Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen that affects millions of people worldwide via ocular or reproductive tract infection. Despite obvious differences in site of infection, there has been shown to be high levels of sequence conservation across C. trachomatis. This high level of sequence conservation is hindered with a...

Creator:: Ndzeidze, Robert F.
Abstract:: Interference with the host post-translational mechanisms, such as protein phosphorylation, is a key strategy used by many intracellular bacterial pathogens to subvert host immune cell function. Virulent non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTMs) unlike attenuated or non-pathogenic NTMs, successfully reside and multiply within the phagosomes of phagocytic cells such as monocytes and macrophages....

Creator:: Pombrol, Michelle
Abstract:: Diatoms play a major role in ocean biogeochemical cycles and are important tools in bioengineering for natural products and nanotechnology. Diatoms and other algae growing at varying resource-limited growth rates allocate carbon to different metabolic pathways to optimize growth; however, the molecular mechanisms controlling these pathway gating strategies are not...

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...

Creator:: Collart, Lindsay P.
Abstract:: Toxin production by cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) in freshwater systems has lasting ecological and human impacts. Nutrients, light availability, hydrology, and microbial community composition impact the frequency and intensity of toxic cyanoHABs. Climate change will exacerbate toxic cyanoHABs, making real time and predictive monitoring a vital tool for managing...
