Biography<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest public challenges we face today in the prevention and treatment of infections, and resistance to antibiotics is currently a major threat when treating Tuberculosis disease caused by Mycobacterium\u00a0tuberculosis<\/em>. Once\u00a0M. tuberculosis<\/em> becomes resistant to the first line of antitubercular antibiotics, the chances of recovery reduce drastically and the price of the treatment also increases, making the treatment unaffordable in developing countries.<\/p>\n

Determining beforehand whether a patient possesses a resistant strain of\u00a0M. tuberculosis<\/em> is the first step to successful treatment, however working with the pathogen is not only very dangerous but can also be a lengthy process as\u00a0M. tuberculosis<\/em>\u00a0is a slow growing bacterium. Finding a role model organism for\u00a0M. tuberculosis<\/em>\u00a0studies is therefore a must and the objective of my project is to determine whether\u00a0Mycobacterium komossense<\/em>\u00a0could play this role.<\/p>\n
