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.

Specificity Evaluation of a Polyprotein-Based ELISA Designed for the Detection of Paratuberculosis in Multiple Species. [PDF]

Vet Med Int
Paratuberculosis (PTB) is a disease affecting ruminant animals. The etiological agent, Mycobacterium avium subspecies PTB (Map), is a short, Gram‐positive, acid‐fast bacillus. Due to the nature of PTB, diagnosis often occurs at advanced stages of the disease, following the onset of clinical symptoms and prior dissemination of the agent. The specificity

Paratuberculosis [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1994
Paratuberculosis (Johne's disease) is a chronic, wasting, widespread mycobacteriosis of ruminants. It involves extensive mycobacterial shedding, which accounts for the high contagiousness, and ends with a fatal enteritis. Decreases in weight, milk production, and fertility produce severe economic loss.
