Mycobacterium avium Subspecies paratuberculosis Recombinant Proteins Modulate Antimycobacterial Functions of Bovine Macrophages. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
It has been shown that Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) activates the Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) p38 pathway, yet it is unclear which components of M.

Inferring biomarkers for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection and disease progression in cattle using experimental data [PDF]

, 2017
Available diagnostic assays for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) have poor sensitivities and cannot detect early stages of infection, therefore, there is need to find new diagnostic markers for early infection detection and disease ...

The multiple roles of the NlpC_P60 peptidase family in mycobacteria – an underexplored target for antimicrobial drug discovery

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 9, Page 1203-1221, May 2025.
The NlpC_P60 superfamily of peptidases is recognised by its key role in bacterial cell wall homeostasis. Recently, studies have also described the involvement of NlpC_P60‐like enzymes in bacterial competitive mechanisms and pathogenesis across several lineages.

Comparative genomic analysis of Mycobacterium avium subspecies obtained from multiple host species

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Mycobacterium avium (M. avium) subspecies vary widely in both pathogenicity and host specificity, but the genetic features contributing to this diversity remain unclear.

Assessment of Healthcare Professionals' Knowledge Regarding Nontuberculosis Mycobacterial Infections at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia, 2024: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 39, Issue 10, May 2025.
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.

Antibodies and Inflammation: Fecal Biomarkers of Gut Health in Domestic Ruminants

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 4, Page 468-479, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal infections present major challenges to ruminant livestock systems, and gut health is a key constraint on fitness, welfare, and productivity. Fecal biomarkers present opportunities to monitor animal health without using invasive methods, and with greater resolution compared to observational metrics.

The Association of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
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.

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis and its relationship with Crohn’s disease

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2009
The hypothesis postulating that Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) is the cause of Crohn's disease (CD) has been circulating for many years. Advances in molecular techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction and culture methods, have enabled researchers to demonstrate that there is an association between MAP and CD.
