1 Jun 1993
Abstract excerpt
A species-specific recombinant clone (F57) was obtained from a genomic library of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in the transcription vector pGem 3Z. This clone proved to be specific for all mycobacteria tested, including M. avium, and was able to recognize all of the tested M. paratuberculosis strains isolated from animals and humans (patients with Crohn's disease). The F57 insert was sequenced and a segment of...
