Molecular evidence to support a proposal to reserve the designation Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium for bird-type isolates and 'M. avium subsp. hominissuis' for the human/porcine type of M. avium Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Newly developed primers for the detection of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
Recent publications reported the existence of IS900 like sequences in mycobacteria different from Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map). The primers used for IS900 detection of Map have amplified these sequences causing false positive results. In this study, we have developed two new PCR assays for the detection of Map. The first assay is based on the IS900 sequence using primers different from the ones previously reported, the ...

Localization of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis in artificially inoculated milk and colostrum by fractionation Instituut voor Landbouw-, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek KU Leuven
The purpose of the study was to determine the distribution of Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) across the main milk and colostrum fractions (cream, curd, and whey). Raw milk and colostrum were inoculated with 1 of 2 MAP strains, ATCC 19698 or S-23, yielding initial concentrations of 10(6) to 10(7) cfu/mL. After fractionation, for milk as well as for colostrum, 80 to 90% of the recovered MAP cells were found in the curd fraction ...
Genotyping and strain distribution of Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis isolated from humans and pigs in Belgium, 2011-2013 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Mycobacterium avium represents a health concern for both humans and pigs. The characterisation of its subspecies is an important step improving the understanding of the epidemiology and the control of this pathogen. Ninety-two human M. avium strains were selected for a retrospective study. Subspecies determination by rpoB sequencing and IS1245/IS901 analysis showed that 98.9% of Belgian human M. avium strains belong to the subspecies ...
