Counting mycobacteria in infected human cells and mouse tissue: a comparison between qPCR and CFU
Pathak, Sharad; Awuh, Jane Atesoh; Leversen, Nils Anders; Flo, Trude Helen; Åsjø, Birgitta (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Due to the slow growth rate and pathogenicity of mycobacteria, enumeration by traditional reference methods like colony counting is notoriously time-consuming, inconvenient and biohazardous. Thus, novel methods that rapidly ... -
Dynamics of immune effector mechanisms during infection with Mycobacterium aviumin C57BL/6 mice
Haug, Markus; Awuh, Jane Atesoh; Steigedal, Magnus; Kojen, June Frengen; Marstad, Anne; Nordrum, Ivar Skjåk; Halaas, Øyvind; Flo, Trude Helen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Opportunistic infections with non-tuberculous mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium avium are receiving renewed attention because of increased incidence and difficulties in treatment. As for other mycobacterial infections, a ... -
Host defense mechanisms in Mycobacterium avium infection
Awuh, Jane Atesoh (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2013:109, Doctoral thesis, 2013)Mycobacterial infections constitute a major health problem with Mycobacterium tuberculosis causing tuberculosis that kills about 2 million people each year, and nontuberulous mycobacteria like M. avium causing opportunistic ... -
Molecular basis of mycobacterial survival in macrophages
Awuh, Jane Atesoh; Flo, Trude Helen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Macrophages play an essential role in the immune system by ingesting and degrading invading pathogens, initiating an inflammatory response and instructing adaptive immune cells, and resolving inflammation to restore ... -
