Leveraging advanced cryogenic electron microscopy and biochemical methods, they have managed to describe how mycobacteria ...

MAC is noncontagious and made up of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), which are highly prevalent organisms in the United States typically found in drinking water, soil, or aerosols. It is considered ...

They found that mycobacteria: are more prevalent in the United States than in Europe; thrive more in municipal tap water than in well water; are more abundant in metal showerheads than in plastic ones ...

We are broadly interested in the biology of mycobacteria, which include the major human pathogen M. tuberculosis, the nonpathogenic model organism M. smegmatis, and the cancer biotherapeutic agent BCG ...

Michael S. Glickman, MD Physician-scientist Michael Glickman investigates the physiology and pathogenic mechanisms of mycobacteria, including the use of mycobacteria as bacterial cancer therapies.

With the continuous rise in antibiotic resistance, novel methods that can reveal currently unknown antibiotic resistance mechanisms are essential to prepare and inform health responses. Here we built ...
