RESUMEN
Humans are widely exposed to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), a proven multi-host chronic enteric pathogen that has recently been linked to autoimmune diabetes. In the present study we used a MAP species-specific polymerase chain reaction with the insertion element IS900-specific probe to detect MAP infection in members of the same family suffering from Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
