Abstract excerpt
In this study, we describe a novel HRM-PCR assay that clearly differentiates the two main types of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (cattle and sheep) based on the polymorphic variation of a previously described tandem repeat. This modern genotyping technique has several advantages over alternative methods, including cost, ease of use and rapidity.
