Dr. Nicole Parrish of the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Dr. Neil Goldberg of the University of Maryland begin the presentation by discussing tuberculosis and the Wayne Model of Non-Replicating persistence and how that model relates to MAP latency. Their research shows that MAP can convert from an aerobic (oxygen using) state to an anaerobic (non-oxygen) state similar to that seen in tuberculosis. The presentation concludes with a discussion of MAP antibiotic susceptibility and a case study where a combination of antibiotics led to cessation of Crohn’s disease and pyoderma gangrenosum.
