Scientific Tracks Abstracts: J Microb Biochem Technol

Abstract:

Mycobacterium avium subsp. Paratuberculosis is the etiological agent of a severe gastroenteritis in ruminants, known as Johne�??s disease. Johne�??s disease is prevalent in domestic animals worldwide and has significant impact on the global economy. It is considered to be one of the most serious diseases affecting cattle, camels, sheep and goats in Egypt and Arab area. Isolation of M. paratuberculosis from intestinal tissue of Crohn�??s disease patients has led to concern that it may be pathogenic for humans. Thus, the pathogenic role of M. paratuberculosis , early diagnosis and efficient control in animal population are topics of intense debate.
