Genome sequencing of ovine isolates of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis offers insights into host association
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genome of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is remarkably homogeneous among the genomes of bovine, human and wildlife isolates. However, previous work in our laboratories with the bovine K-10 strain has revealed substantial differences compared to sheep isolates. To systematically characterize all genomic differences that may be associated with the specific hosts, we sequenced...
