Gen-Probe Rapid Diagnostic System for the Mycobacterium avium complex does not distinguish between Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.

چکیده
Three reference and 16 field strains of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis were tested with the Gen-Probe Mycobacterium avium complex DNA probe (Gen-Probe Inc., San Diego, Calif.). All reference strains and 12 of 16 field strains gave positive hybridization results with the probe. This study shows that the M. avium complex probe does not distinguish between M. avium and M. paratuberculosis and indicates heterogeneity in the 16S rRNA gene of M. paratuberculosis.

Gen-Probe Rapid Diagnostic System for distinguishing between Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.
The article by Thoresen and Saxegaard (7) concerning the relationship between Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis as determined by using the GenProbe Rapid Diagnostic System contains interesting observations, some of which are not unexpected. Because M. paratuberculosis is rather inactive biochemically and because of variability between strains, biochemical reactions appear t...
متن کاملDevelopment of a new, combined rapid method using phage and PCR for detection and identification of viable Mycobacterium paratuberculosis bacteria within 48 hours.
The FASTPlaqueTB assay is an established diagnostic aid for the rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from human sputum samples. Using the FASTPlaqueTB assay reagents, viable Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis cells were detected as phage plaques in just 24 h. The bacteriophage used does not infect M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis alone, so to add specificity to this assay, a P...

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is the cause of John’s disease also called paratuberculosis. This is economically one of the important infectious diseases in cattle and ruminant husbandry. This disease is manifested as granulomatosis entrocolitis, lymphadenitis and inflammation local lymphatic vessels. The typical sign of this disease is progressive loss of weight. Cons...
متن کاملHPLC does not differentiate Mycobacterium paratuberculosis from Mycobacterium avium.
HPLC, which is gaining its place as identification tool in mycobacteriology laboratories, has been proposed to distinguish Mycobacterium paratuberculosis from Mycobacterium avium. We had reported no significant difference between M. avium and M. paratuberculosis reference strain ATCC 19698. Because of the advantages offered by such a method, we enlarged our observations to include more isolates...
