Examination of the molecular diversity of Klebsiella pneumoniae and Mycobacterium avium subspecies Paratuberculosis: two pathogens associated with the dairy industry in Newfoundland
Klebsiella pneumoniae and Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map) are two important pathogens of cattle causing clinical mastitis (CM) and Johne‘s disease (JD), respectively. Information regarding the molecular diversity of these two pathogens is lacking from Newfoundland. The aim of t...
