METHOD AND KIT FOR DETECTING MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM SUBSP. PARATUBERCULOSIS (MAP) IN SAMPLES OF FAECES, BODY TISSUES OR MILK

摘要

The invention relates to a method for detecting mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in samples of faeces, body tissues, or milk. According to said method, a DNA extract is obtained from the samples, and the DNA extract obtained is treated by means of PCR in the presence of MAP-specific primers (MAP-Primer), and tested to find out whether MAP-specific gene sequences have been amplified during the PCR. The invention also relates to a kit for carrying out said method.
