Hypersensitivity pneumonitis caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis in a hot tub, as proven by IS1245 RFLP and rep-PCR typing [PDF]
A symptomatic patient had repeatedly positive cultures of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis after exposure to a hot tub contaminated with M. avium subsp. hominissuis. The pulmonary and tub water isolates were indistinguishable by IS1245 RFLP as well as rep-PCR typing. Discontinued use of the hot tub resulted in culture conversion.

A mixed infection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis and M. a. hominissuis in one red deer (Cervus elaphus) studied by IS900 BstEII and IS1245 PvuII RFLP analyses: a case report [PDF]
A mixed infection with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) and Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) in one naturally infected red deer stag from a game park is described. The animal was euthanized because of symptoms of poor condition, weight loss and chronic diarrhoea.

Tuberculosis in Birds: Insights into the Mycobacterium avium Infections
Tuberculosis, a List B disease of World Organization for Animal Health, caused by M. avium or M. genavense predominantly affects poultry and pet or captive birds. Clinical manifestations in birds include emaciation, depression and diarrhea along with marked atrophy of breast muscle.

Mycobacterial Interspersed Repeat Unit-Variable Number Tandem Repeat Typing of Mycobacterium avium Strains Isolated from the Lymph Nodes of Free-Living Carnivorous Animals in Poland. [PDF]
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous organisms, of which some, especially those of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), may be opportunistic animal and human pathogens.

First description of natural and experimental conjugation between Mycobacteria mediated by a linear plasmid. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In a previous study, we detected the presence of a Mycobacterium avium species-specific insertion sequence, IS1245, in Mycobacterium kansasii. Both species were isolated from a mixed M. avium-M.

IS 1245 Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Typing of Mycobacterium avium Isolates: Proposal for Standardization [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mycobacterium avium has become a major human pathogen, primarily due to the emergence of the AIDS epidemic. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing, using insertion sequence IS 1245 as a probe, provides a powerful tool in the molecular epidemiology of M ...

First whole-genome sequence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. silvaticum isolated from a diseased Egyptian goose (Alopochen aegyptiaca). [PDF]
Background Among the non-tuberculous mycobacteria, Mycobacterium (M.) avium are important pathogens for humans and/or animals. Currently, there are four M. avium subspecies: subsp. hominissuis (Mah), subsp. paratuberculosis (Map), subsp. avium (Maa), and

Comparison of three restriction endonucleases in IS 1245-based RFLP typing of Mycobacterium avium [PDF]
IS1245-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis has been proposed recently for molecular typing of Mycobacterium avium isolates. As there is no standardised method with respect to the optimal restriction enzyme, three restriction endonucleases were tested for analysis of 17 human isolates.
