Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRU) comprise short tandem repeat structures found ... more Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRU) comprise short tandem repeat structures found at multiple loci throughout the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome and have been used for typing these pathogens. We have identified MIRU at 18 conserved loci throughout the common portions of the Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) and M. avium subspecies avium (MAA) genomes. Six of these loci were found to

They have distinctive phenotypic and molecular characteristics from the terrestrial mammal Brucella species, and two new species names have been previously proposed based on DNA polymorphism at the omp2 locus and their preferential host, i.e. Brucella cetaceae for cetacean isolates and Brucella pinnipediae for pinniped isolates. The results presented in this study on characterization of these strains by infrequent restriction site-PCR (IRS-PCR), taking into account the higher number of IS711 elements in their genome compared to terrestrial mammal Brucella species, supports this classification. The nucleotide sequences of specific DNA fragments detected by IRS-PCR were determined and used to develop PCR identification tests for either B. cetaceae or B. pinnipediae.
