Determination of genome size and DNA homology between an unclassified Mycobacterium species isolated from patients with Crohn's disease and other mycobacteria.

چکیده
The genome size of an unclassified Mycobacterium species, isolated from a patient with Crohn's disease, was determined by measurement of DNA renaturation kinetics as 3.1 X 10(9) Da. The percentage of DNA homology of this organism to DNA of related mycobacteria was evaluated by measurement of DNA renaturation with heterologous DNA. These studies supported the classification of this organism as Mycobacterium paratuberculosis but failed to distinguish between M. paratuberculosis and organisms of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare groups.

Two strains of an unclassified Mycobacterium species were isolated after 18 and 30 months of incubation of media inoculated with resected intestinal tissues from patients with Crohn's disease. These strains represented the third and fourth isolates of this organism from Crohn's disease patients. Ultrastructural examination of this strain and two previously isolated strains revealed the presence...

The potentially pathogenic Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging nowadays which result in pulmonary and non-pulmonary infections in human. This group of bacteria consists of at least 200 different species. While the pulmonary disease is the most common form of NTM infections, NTM can cause diffused infections as well as extrapulmonary infections in every organ, such as bone marrow, s...
