Whole-Genome Analysis of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis IS900Insertions Reveals Strain Type-Specific Modalities
10 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) is the etiological agent of Johne’s disease in ruminants. The IS900 insertion sequence (IS) has been used widely as an epidemiological marker and target for PCR diagnosis. Updated DNA sequencing technologies have led to a rapid increase in available Map genomes, which makes it possible to analyze the distribution of IS900 in this slow-growing bacterium. The...
