Development of a new, combined rapid method using phage and PCR for detection and identification of viable Mycobacterium paratuberculosis bacteria within 48 hours [PDF]
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.

Iron Acquisition in Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis
ABSTRACT Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is a host-adapted pathogen that evolved from the environmental bacterium M. avium subsp. hominissuis through gene loss and gene acquisition. Growth of M. avium subsp.

Bovine monocyte TLR2 receptors differentially regulate the intracellular fate ofMycobacterium aviumsubsp. paratuberculosis andMycobacterium aviumsubsp.avium [PDF]
AbstractPathogenic mycobacterial organisms have the capacity to inhibit macrophage activation and phagosome maturation. Although the mechanism is complex, several studies have incriminated signaling through TLR2 receptors with subsequent activation of the MAPK pathway p38 (MAPKp38) and overproduction of IL-10 in the survival of pathogenic mycobacterial

Protection efficacy of Argentinian isolates of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with different genotypes and virulence in a murine model [PDF]
Paratuberculosis is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map). The disease causes economic losses and, therefore, it is imperative to follow proper control strategies, which should include an effective vaccine. Several

Global analyses of TetR family transcriptional regulators in mycobacteria indicates conservation across species and diversity in regulated functions [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mycobacteria inhabit diverse niches and display high metabolic versatility. They can colonise both humans and animals and are also able to survive in the environment.

MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM SUBSPECIES PARATUBERCULOSIS AND MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM SUBSP. AVIUM INFECTIONS IN A TULE ELK (CERVUS ELAPHUS NANNODES) HERD [PDF]
Between 2 August and 22 September 2000, 37 hunter-killed tule elk (Cervus elaphus nannodes) were evaluated at the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area, California, USA, for evidence of paratuberculosis. Elk were examined post-mortem, and tissue and fecal samples were submitted for radiometric mycobacterial culture.

Complete Genome Sequence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium Chester (DSM 44156)
Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of the Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium strain DSM 44156, also deposited as ATCC 25291 and TMC 724. The reference strain was originally described as a serotype 2 strain isolated from a hen by F. D. Chester in 1901.
