Disparate host immunity to Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis antigens in calves inoculated with M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis, M. avium subsp. avium, M. kansasii, and M. bovis.
The cross-reactivity of mycobacterial antigens in immune-based diagnostic assays has been a major concern and a criticism of the current tests that are used for the detection of paratuberculosis. In the present study, Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis recombinant proteins were evaluated for antigenic specificity compared to a whole-cell sonicate preparation (MPS). Measures of cell-med...
متن کاملTreatment Outcome in Mycobacterium avium Pulmonary Disease
Huey Long (“Kingfish”), the famously corrupt, demagogic, depression-era governor of Louisiana, was interviewed by a high school senior, whose last question was, “Tell me, governor, is there a place for honesty in politics?” Long replied, reassuringly, in the affirmative, but as the student left the room, he winked at his surrounding cronies and commented, “In politics, boys, we use anything we ...
متن کاملPathogenesis, Molecular Genetics, and Genomics of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the Etiologic Agent of Johne’s Disease
Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the etiologic agent of Johne's disease in ruminants causing chronic diarrhea, malnutrition, and muscular wasting. Neonates and young animals are infected primarily by the fecal-oral route. MAP attaches to, translocates via the intestinal mucosa, and is phagocytosed by macrophages. The ensuing host cellular immune response leads to granulomato...
متن کاملMycobacterium avium complex: cutaneous infection in an immunocompetent host.
Sir, Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is commonly present in the environment, but it is of low pathogenicity. It is widely believed that an underlying immune alteration is required for pathogenicity. Human infection caused by MAC organisms manifest as chronic pulmonary disease, but disseminated types are recognized in immunocompromised patients, especially AIDS su¡erers (1). Cutaneous infectio...
متن کاملDisseminated Mycobacterium avium complex infection in a compromised host.
A 75-year-old woman with polymyositis, who had received medication of corticosteroids and immunesuppressive agents, presented with backache. Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) showed multiple nodules and infiltrative shadow in both peripheral lungs (Picture 1). F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography demonstrated an increased uptake in both lungs, the thoracolumbar spine, right ...
