Use of short-term culture for identification of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in tissue from Crohn's disease patients

Abstract: Because MAP was present in 86% of resected tissue compared to 20% of biopsy specimens from CD patients, we speculate that MAP resides in the submucosal layer closer to the active part of the ulcer rather than on the surface of the mucosal cells. Thus, surgically resected tissue cultured in MGIT medium is a favorable protocol for rapid cultivation of MAP and for investigating its role in CD pathogenesis. The data support the mycobacterial role in CD pathogenesis.

“…Cell wall-defective mycobacteria were isolated also from skin lesions and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with sarcoidosis and identified to be M. a. paratuberculosis or other M. avium-intracellulare complex members (El-Zaatari et al, 1996). A relationship between cell wall deficient forms of M. a. paratuberculosis and Crohn's disease has been found by some authors, although this aetiological agent has not yet been conclusively proven (Hermon-Taylor and Bull, 2002;Hulten et al, 2001 a, b, c;Sechi et al ,2001;Schwartz et al, 2000).…”

“…In 10 years, only 5% of tissue from people with Crohn's disease allowed growth of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis when tissue samples were inoculated into the appropriate medium (15). Only recently, due to the development of molecular biology-based tools, such as the application of PCR based on the amplification of insertion sequence IS900 (IS900 PCR) to the detection of M. avium subsp.…”

“…Por lo tanto, en algunos casos sería más probable detectar a MAP en tejidos como los linfonódulos mesentéricos, los vasos sanguíneos, los vasos linfáticos y en los adipocitos que conforman el mesenterio 7 . Además, la resección quirúrgica es un procedimiento signifi cativamente más sensible que la biopsia en el diagnóstico de MAP, sugiriendo que en humanos la bacteria podría localizarse en la capa submucosa cercana a la lesión, más que en las células epiteliales superfi ciales 37 . Por otra parte, se ha reportado la existencia de cepas de MAP con una pared celular reducida o inexistente, conocidas como formas L, que no se consideran ácido alcohol resistentes y por lo tanto, son indetectables mediante la tinción de Ziehl Neelsen, utilizada tradicionalmente para la observación de las bacterias del género Mycobacterium.…”

“…La prueba de elección para el diagnóstico sigue siendo el cultivo bacteriológico, aunque requiere un prolongado tiempo de incubación para su interpretación. Por este motivo, se ha tratado de disminuir la extensión del ensayo mediante el sistema "Micobacterial Growth Indicator Tube" (MGIT), que además ha mejorado su sensibilidad 37 .…”
