The Association of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The association of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) with Crohn's disease is a controversial issue. M. paratuberculosis is detected by amplifying the IS900 gene, as microbial culture is unreliable from humans. We determined the presence of M. paratuberculosis in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) (n = 22), ulcerative

Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) ranks as a second leading cause of death. The End TB strategy targets eliminating TB by 2030. Achieving this goal requires an early, accurate, and affordable diagnosis applicable in low‐ and middle‐income countries; increasing the reach of point‐of‐care (POC) diagnostics is essential.

Detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in a sheep flock in Tuscany
Paratuberculosis is an infectious disease which affects ruminants. In this work, a sheep flock in Garfagnana district (Tuscany, Italy) was examined by agar gel immune-diffusion (AGID) tests, culture, and PCR from feces, milk, tissue samples, and cheeses. At the first AGID test, 7/280 (2.5 %) animals were positive.

Uptake and Persistence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in Human Monocytes [PDF]
ABSTRACT Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is a bacterium sometimes found in human blood and tissue samples that may have a role in the etiology of Crohn's disease in humans. To date, however, there have been few studies examining the interactions of these bacteria with human cells ...

Sequence variants associated with resilient responses in growing pigs
Abstract The current work aimed to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with resilience in pigs. In previous work, we proposed the body weight deviation from the expected growth curve (ΔBW) and the increase of the positive acute‐phase protein haptoglobin (ΔHP) after a vaccine challenge as resilience indicators which may be improved ...

Crohn's Disease and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis: Current Issues [PDF]
Crohn's disease is a chronic debilitating inflammatory bowel disease of unknown etiology. Proposed causes include bacterial or viral infection, diet or exposure to tobacco smoke, genetic abnormality, and immune dysfunction. The bacterium Mycobacterium avium subsp.
