RT Journal Article T1 Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IS900 sequence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis are strain type specific A1 Castellanos, Elena A1 Aranaz Martín, Alicia A1 Juan Ferré, Lucía De A1 Álvarez Sánchez, Julio A1 Rodríguez, Sabrina A1 Romero Martínez, Beatriz A1 Bezos Garrido, Javier A1 Stevenson, Karen A1 Mateos García, Ana A1 Domínguez Rodríguez, Lucas José AB Insertion sequence IS900 is used as a target for the identification of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis. Previous reports have revealed single nucleotide polymorphisms within IS900. This study, which analyzed the IS900 sequences of a panel of isolates representing M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis strain types I, II, and III, revealed conserved type-specific polymorphisms that could be utilized as a tool for diagnostic and epidemiological purposes.
