Molecular Epidemiology of Mycobacterium avium subsp.paratuberculosis: IS900 Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism and IS1311 Polymorphism Analyses of Isolates from Animals and a Human in Australia

Abstract excerpt

The distribution and prevalence of strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis were determined among sheep, cattle, and other species with Johne's disease in Australia. A total of 328 isolates were evaluated from numerous farms in New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and South Australia, Australia. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis of genomic DNA using BstEII and an IS900 probe...
