Abstract:
We developed a novel method for purifying acid-fast bacteria from feces. The method enabled the observation of characteristic clumps of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) under electron microscopy by removing contaminants and other bacteria. Further refinement of this method will contribute to efficient and effective MAP detection.
