Comparison of a Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat (VNTR) Method for TypingMycobacterium aviumwith Mycobacterial Interspersed Repetitive-Unit-VNTR and IS1245Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Typing [PDF]
ABSTRACTMycobacterium aviumcomplex (MAC) infections are increasing annually in various countries, including Japan, but the route of transmission and pathophysiology of the infection remain unclear. Currently, a variable-number tandem-repeat (VNTR) typing method using theMycobacterium aviumtandem repeat (MATR) loci (MATR-VNTR) is employed in Japan for ...

Sthe role of myofibroblasts in granulomatous lymphadenitis in pigs naturally infected with M. Avium subsp. hominissuis [PDF]
The most important morphological characteristic of infections caused by M. avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is granuloma formation. The growth of mycobacteria is in accordance with anti-bacterial effector mechanisms of the host within granuloma.

Case study: Tuberculination, serology and bacteriology of sows at a farrowing unit suspected of an infection with Mycobacterium avium [PDF]
Mycobacterium avium (MA) is considered a zoonotic hazard in pork. Herds delivered at slaughter showing gross lesions indicative of a mycobacterial infection, eg. specific abcesses in lymphoreticular tissue, were bacteriologically positive for MA.

Tuberculous lesions in pig lymph nodes caused by kaolin fed as a supplement
An increased incidence of tuberculous lesions in head and mesenteric lymph nodes from slaughtered pigs weighing about 115 kg was recorded in a herd of pigs kept in two farms A and B in the CzechRepublic. Tuberculous lesions were more frequently (P < 0.
