Estimation of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis load in raw bulk tank milk in Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) by qPCR [PDF]
Consumption of milk and dairy products is considered one of the main routes of human exposure to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP). Quantitative data on MAP load in raw cows’ milk are essential starting point for exposure assessment.

A comprehensive and schematic illustration of the study's methods and materials. ABSTRACT Background Nontuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental pathogens that can cause pulmonary infections, especially among the immunocompromised population. There is limited research on healthcare professionals' knowledge of NTM infections in Ethiopia.
