Detection of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in bulk tank milk by combined phage-PCR assay: Evidence that plaque number is a good predictor of MAP

Conventional culture and a rapid phage-PCR method were used to detect Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) in bulk tank milk (BTM) samples. Only two of 225 samples (0.9%) were found to contain MAP by culture whereas 50 (22%) MAP-positive samples were identified using the phage-PCR assay...
