Utilization of palmitic acid by Mycobacterium avium.
Mycobacterium avium accumulates (14)C-palmitic acid with saturation kinetics; the process is both temperature dependent and pH sensitive. The fatty acid is incorporated into triglyceride in vivo and the conversion is detectable within 5 min after exposure of the cells to (14)C-palmitic acid. The triglyceride is rapidly utilized because (14)CO(2) evolution from it begins within 30 min after (14)...
متن کاملEffect of palmitic acid utilization on cell division in Mycobacterium avium.
Mycobacterium avium, a facultative pathogen for humans, undergoes a life cycle in which selected small cells elongate and then fragment to form coccobacilli. M. avium cells of uniform size were selected by membrane filtration and tested for growth and division in the presence or absence of palmitic acid. Growth was measured by increased cellular protein, and cell division was determined by incr...
متن کاملGenomic Characterization of the Vaccinal Strain of Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis (MAP) 316F by MIRU-VNTR
Abstract Background and Objective: Paratuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous enteritis of ruminants caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP). this study aimed to characterize the genome of the MAP 316F strain. Methods: The MAP 316F strain was subjected to the PCR-F57 and PCR-IS900 experi...
متن کاملDifferential responses of bovine macrophages to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium.
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium are antigenically and genetically similar organisms; however, they differ in their virulence for cattle. M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis causes a chronic intestinal infection leading to a chronic wasting disease termed paratuberculosis or Johne's disease, whereas M. avium subsp. avium causes only a transient infec...
متن کاملIdentification of various serovar strains of Mycobacterium avium complex by using DNA probes specific for Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare.
Reference strains of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) belonging to serovars 1 to 28 were examined with DNA probes (Gen Probe Rapid Diagnostic System for the MAC; Gen Probe Inc., San Diego, Calif.) specific for either M. avium or Mycobacterium intracellulare. This study revealed that the earlier designations of the MAC serovars, in which serovars 1 to 3 and 4 to 28 were regarded as M. avium...
