Genomic 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 کاملComparative Genome Analysis of Mycobacterium avium Revealed Genetic Diversity in Strains that Cause Pulmonary and Disseminated Disease
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection causes disseminated disease in immunocompromised hosts, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients, and pulmonary disease in persons without systemic immunosuppression, which has been increasing in many countries. In Japan, the incidence of pulmonary MAC disease caused by M. avium is about 7 times higher than that caused by M. intrac...
متن کاملComparison of prognosis of pulmonary diseases caused by Mycobacterium avium and by Mycobacterium intracellulare.
A total of 55 patients with pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium avium and by Mycobacterium intracellulare were compared for their prognosis. Causative mycobacteria were identified by the DNA probes (Gen-Probe) method. Of the 55 patients, 28 had pulmonary disease caused by M avium and the remaining 27, by M intracellulare. Of the former group, four patients had progressive disease, and thr...
متن کاملRecurrence of disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex disease in a patient with anti-gamma interferon autoantibodies by reinfection.
We report a case of recurrent disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (DMAC) disease with anti-gamma interferon autoantibodies. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case caused by reinfection with a separate isolate of M. avium. DMAC disease activity was monitored using serum IgG antibody titers against lipid antigens extracted from a MAC strain.

Mycobacterium aviumsubspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), as an obligate intracellular bacterium, causes paratuberculosis (Johne’s disease) in ruminants. Plus, MAP has consistently been isolated from Crohn’s disease (CD) lesions in humans; a notion implying possible direct causative ...
