Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis cultured from locally and commercially pasteurized cow's milk in the Czech Republic
Article Abstract:
Studies are being conducted to determine whether live Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis are entering the milk supply in the Czech Republic both in general retail pasteurized milk and in locally pasteurized milk from three specific dairy herds. The results show that humans are being exposed to this chronic enteric pathogen by this route despite the milk being pasteurized to the national and European Union's standards.

Dehalogenation of haloalkanes by Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and other mycobacteria
Article Abstract:
The bacterium that causes tuberculosis has three different genes that code for enzymes that can break down synthetic haloalkanes. The amino acid sequence of these enzymes in other microorganisms was known and researchers found the same sequence in the genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which was published in 1998.

Cloning, biochemical properties, and distribution of mycobacterial haloalkane dehalogenases
Article Abstract:
The cloning of the haloalkane dehalogenase genes dmbA and dmbB from Mycobacterium bovis 5033/66 is described and the dehalogenase activity of their translation products is demonstrated. The melting temperature assessed by circular dichroism spectroscopy of DmbA is 47 degree Celsius and DmbB is 57 degree Celsius.
