Here, we adapt the Pseudomonas putida-derived positively regulated XylS/Pm expression system to control inducible gene expression in ... -
Genetic Variation/Evolution and Differential Host Responses Resulting from In-Patient Adaptation of Mycobacterium avium
Kannan, Nisha; Lai, Yi-Pin; Haug, Markus; Lilleness, M.K.; Bakke, Siril Skaret; Marstad, Anne; Hov, Håkon; Naustdal, Thor; Afset, Jan Egil; Ioerger, Thomas R.; Flo, Trude Helen; Steigedal, Magnus (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Members of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) are characterized as nontuberculosis mycobacteria and are pathogenic mainly in immunocompromised individuals. MAC strains show a wide genetic variability, and there is growing ... -
Mycobacterium smegmatis Vaccine Vector Elicits CD4+ Th17 and CD8+ Tc17 T Cells With Therapeutic Potential to Infections With Mycobacterium avium
Kannan, Nisha; Haug, Markus; Steigedal, Magnus; Flo, Trude Helen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Mycobacterium avium (Mav) complex is increasingly reported to cause non-tuberculous infections in individuals with a compromised immune system.
