Characterization of Genetic Differences between Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis Type I and Type II Isolates
1 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
A combination of representational difference analysis and comparative DNA sequencing revealed that four type I (sheep) isolates of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis were differentiated from nine type II (bovine) isolates by the presence of an 11-bp insertion in a novel M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis-specific region of genomic DNA. Further, our studies show that M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis type I...
