Molecular Epidemiology of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis : Evidence for Limited Strain Diversity, Strain Sharing, and Identification of Unique Targets for Diagnosis

Abstract excerpt

The objectives of this study were to understand the molecular diversity of animal and human strains of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis isolated in the United States and to identify M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis-specific diagnostic molecular markers to aid in disease detection, prevention, and control. Multiplex PCR of IS900 integration loci (MPIL) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)...
