title: Gas chromatographic characterization of the relationship between some Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis strains.
abstract: Mycobacterium avium strain P-55 and M. avium strain DENT differ from M. avium strain 16909-338 on the basis of their fatty acid spectra (C14:0, C18:0 and tuberculostearic [TBS] acids) studied by multivariate statistical analyses. Strains P-55 and DENT are closer to M. paratuberculosis strain 5889 than to M. avium strain 16909-338, a finding which is in harmony with earlier immunological observations. The recently isolated M. paratuberculosis strain 385 has proved different from M. paratuberculosis strain 5889.
