説明

<jats:title>ABSTRACT</jats:title><jats:p>An automated PCR with fluorescent probes (molecular beacons) detected<jats:italic>Mycobacterium avium</jats:italic>subsp.<jats:italic>paratuberculosis</jats:italic>in bovine feces. When the PCR was compared with culture in testing 41 fecal samples, kappa scores of 0.94 to 0.96, a sensitivity of 93 to 96%, and a specificity of 92% were obtained. Results were quantitated by using a standard curve derived from a plasmid containing IS<jats:italic>900</jats:italic>. A minimum quantity of 1.7 × 10<jats:sup>−4</jats:sup>pg of DNA, correlating to 1 to 8 CFU, was detected.</jats:p>
