Paratuberculosis is a contagious, chronic and sometimes fatal infection that primarily affects the small intestine of ruminants. It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis. Infections normally affect ruminants (mammals that have four compartments of their stomachs, of which the rumen is one), but have also been seen in a variety of nonruminant species, including rabbits, foxes, and birds. Horses, dogs, and nonhuman primates have been infected experimentally. Paratuberculosis is found worldwide, with some states in Australia (where it is usually called bovine Johne's disease or BJD) being the only areas proven to be free of the disease.
Identification of bacterial species and subspecies using lipids
InactiveUS20080108104A1Reduce in quantityMicrobiological testing/measurementBiological material analysisLipid formationParatuberculosis
The use of free, extractable lipids found in bacteria for identification of bacterial species and subspecies is described. Bacteria have been found to differ sufficiently in their extracted lipid compositions to effect identification using thin layer chromatographic techniques. Burkholderia pseudomallei, Burkholderia thailandensis, and Burkholderia mallei have been distinguished in this manner. Lipopeptides specific to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis, but not to the closely related bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies avium have also been used as a basis for bacterial subspecies identification using mass spectrometry and seroreactivity. Mass spectrometric analysis of total bacterial lipids of Burkholderia pseudomallei, Burkholderia thailandensis, and Burkholderia mallei, and mass spectrometric analysis of total bacterial lipids for Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium subspecies avium, without further lipid separation, has shown that species and subspecies of bacteria may be identified using such analysis.

Recombinant ESAT-6:CFP-10 fusion protein useful for specific diagnosis of tuberculosis
InactiveUS20060024332A1Avoid unnecessary slaughterEasy to testBacterial antigen ingredientsAntibody mimetics/scaffoldsDiseaseNitric oxide
The fusion protein rESAT-6:CFP-10 is useful for differentiating infection of an animal with Mycobacterium bovis from exposure of the animal to other species of Mycobacteria, especially M. avium and M. avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map). Cells stimulated with the fusion protein are capable of eliciting a variety of in vivo and in vitro responses (e.g. hypersensitivity skin response, IFN-γ, nitric oxide, and TNF-α) indicative of M. bovis infection. This invention will facilitate diagnosis of tuberculosis in cattle, reindeer and other susceptible animal species, thereby preventing unnecessary slaughter of uninfected animals suspected of having of the disease.
