Journal ArticleDOI
Mycobacterium abscessus: a new antibiotic nightmare
TL;DR: A review of previous and recent findings on the resistance of M. abscessus to antibiotics highlights the work needed to decipher the molecular events responsible for its extensive chemotherapeutic resistance and raises the profile of this important pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuberculosis in seals caused by a novel member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex: Mycobacterium pinnipedii sp. nov.
Debby Cousins,Ricardo Bastida,Ángel Adrián Cataldi,Viviana Quse,Sharon Redrobe,Sue Dow,Pádraig J. Duignan,Alan Murray,Dupont Christine,Niyaz Ahmed,Des M. Collins,W. Ray Butler,David J. Dawson,Diego Rodríguez,J. Loureiro,Maria Isabel Romano,A. Alito,Martín José Zumárraga,Amelia Bernardelli +18 more
TL;DR: Pinnipeds appear to be the natural host for this 'seal bacillus', although the organism is also pathogenic in guinea pigs, rabbits, humans, Brazilian tapir and, possibly, cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations into the influence of host genetics on the predominant eubacteria in the faecal microflora of children
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that host genetics influence the composition of the dominant eubacterial population in children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control Mechanisms Governing the Infectivity of Chlamydia tuachomatis for HeLa Cells: Mechanisms of Endocytosis
Michael E. Ward,Alan Murray +1 more
TL;DR: Findings were incompatible with the suggestion that chlamydiae enter cells by taking advantage of the classic mechanism of receptor-mediated endocytosis into clathrin-coated vesicles, used by the host cell for the internalization of beta-lipoprotein and other macromolecules, but were consistent with the hypothesis that chamydiaeEnter cells by a microfilament-dependent zipper mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of Escherichia coliβ‐galactosidase in Mycobacterium bovis BCG using an expression system isolated from Mycobacterium paratuberculosis which induced humoral and cellular immune responses
Alan Murray,Alan Murray,N. Winter,Micheline Lagranderie,D. F. Hill,J. Rauzier,J. Timm,Claude Leclerc,K. M. Moriarty,M. Gheorghiu,B Gicquel +10 more
TL;DR: The Pan‐ORF2 expression system may prove to be particularly useful for cloning and expression of heterologous genes in the BCG vaccine strain.
