Genome-Wide Sequence Variation among Mycobacterium avium Subspecies paratuberculosis Isolates: A Better Understanding of Johne?s Disease Transmission Dynamics
1 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (M. ap), the causative agent of Johne's disease, infects many farmed ruminants, wild-life animals, and recently isolated from humans. To better understand the molecular pathogenesis of these infections, we analyzed the whole-genome sequences of several M. ap and M. avium subspecies avium (M. avium) isolates to gain insights into genomic diversity associated with...
