Relationship between Mycobacterium avium, M. paratuberculosis and mycobacteria associated with Crohn's disease.
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently some mycobactin-dependent mycobacteria were isolated from patients with Crohn's disease. These mycobacteria should be very similar to M. paratuberculosis which is closely related to M. avium. The author has investigated the relationship between M. avium, M. paratuberculosis and the mycobacteria associated with Crohn's disease.

The evidence for Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in Crohn's disease.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Though long hypothesized, the putative link between Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis and Crohn's disease remains neither confirmed nor refuted. This article reviews published contributions that directly or indirectly address this question. RECENT FINDINGS Epidemiologic studies, looking for M. avium paratuberculosis DNA in Crohn's tissue, show a strong association between...
متن کاملDetermination of genome size and DNA homology between an unclassified Mycobacterium species isolated from patients with Crohn's disease and other mycobacteria.
The genome size of an unclassified Mycobacterium species, isolated from a patient with Crohn's disease, was determined by measurement of DNA renaturation kinetics as 3.1 X 10(9) Da. The percentage of DNA homology of this organism to DNA of related mycobacteria was evaluated by measurement of DNA renaturation with heterologous DNA. These studies supported the classification of this organism as M...

A mycobacterial aetiology has been suggested for Crohn's disease. A slow growing mycobacterium, biochemically and genetically identical toM paratuberculosis, the causative agent of enteritis in ruminants Johne's disease), has been isolated from gut specimens of patients affected by Crohn's disease. If M paratuberculosis or other mycobacteria play a role in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease, t...
متن کاملThiopurine drugs azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine inhibit Mycobacterium paratuberculosis growth in vitro.
The in vitro susceptibility of human- and bovine-origin Mycobacterium paratuberculosis to the thioupurine drugs 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and azathioprine (AZA) was established using conventional plate counting methods and the MGIT 960 ParaTB culture system. Both 6-MP and AZA had antibacterial activity against M. paratuberculosis; isolates from Crohn's disease patients tended to be more susceptib...

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the etiologic agent of Johne's disease in ruminants and there has been a shift in the public health approach to MAP and human diseases like Crohn's disease. The prevention of infection by MAP in ruminants is thought to deter the high impact of economic losses in the level of dairy industry and possible spreading of this pathogen in dairy prod...
