#53 Novel IS900 sequence polymorphisms in Indian isolates <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Mycobacterium avium<br />

subspecies paratuberculosis <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> human and bovine origin<br />

Objective: Study aimed to characterize clinical isolates <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis<br />

(MAP) <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> humans and bovine origin by sequencing two regi<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> IS900 elements.<br />

Materials and Methods: DNA was extracted from representative 11 native isolates <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> MAP <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> human<br />

and bovine origin from North India. Stool samples from human beings (N=2) exhibiting clinical symptoms<br />

indistinguishable to Crohn’s disease (CD) and were employed in goa<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>rds endemic for Johne’s disease (JD).<br />

Two DNA bel<strong>on</strong>ged to Crohn’s disease patients. Seven DNA were recovered from commercially pasteurized<br />

bovine milk samples. All <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> DNA samples were characterized by IS900 PCR at two regi<strong>on</strong>s (A and B)<br />

and PCR products were subjected for sequencing using big dye terminator chemistry (courtesy Tim Bull,<br />

UK). Using <strong>on</strong>line and <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g>fline alignment tools, sequences were analyzed for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> global and local sequence<br />

comparis<strong>on</strong>s. Results and C<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s: Sequencing c<strong>on</strong>firmed that regi<strong>on</strong> B <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se native MAP isolates<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> human and bovine origin were identical to MAP K10 and o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r sequences deposited in GenBank database.<br />

However, regi<strong>on</strong> A <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se isolates carried a stretch <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> nucleotides (from regi<strong>on</strong> 62 to 121) having number <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

sequence variati<strong>on</strong>s compared to MAP K10 and o<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r sequences deposited in GenBank. Within native isolates<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>re were no variati<strong>on</strong>s (homologous) and had identical sequences. However, earlier studies reported highly<br />

c<strong>on</strong>served nature <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> IS900 in MAP isolates recovered from different species and geographical locati<strong>on</strong>s outside<br />

India. Previous studies by this group also reported presence <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> new ‘Indian Bis<strong>on</strong> type’ genotype from different<br />

species <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> animals (domestic and wild) and human beings. This study also exhibited that ‘Indian MAP’ isolates<br />

may probably represent a new group <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> genotypes. Variati<strong>on</strong>s in <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> A regi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> IS900 sequences <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> ‘Indian<br />

MAP’ isolates may be used for designing <strong>on</strong>e step assays to discriminate Indian and n<strong>on</strong>-Indian MAP isolates.<br />

However, more extensive validati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> above observati<strong>on</strong>s is needed.<br />
