| Abstract | Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map) is an important pathogen causing ruminant paratuberculosis. Paratuberculosis is characterized by chronic granulomatous enteritis, persistent diarrhea, progressive wasting, and finally death, and as resulted in significant economic losses to the dairy and cattle industries worldwide. Furthermore, Map is speculated to be the cause of human Crohn’s disease. One of the difficulties of Map in diagnosis and research is its significant slow growth. Therefore, we investigated the application of a viability test of Map by Carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl (CFDA) and carboxyfluores cein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFDA/ SE) labeling as a quick method. The results revealed that CFDA is a useful reagent as a fluorescent probe to determine the quan titative viability of Map but unsatisfactory results obtained with CFDA/SE. Incubation of Map with CFDA at 100μM for 30min was practically the optimal condition for the viability test. We suggest that this method will be used widely as a simplified semi-quanti tative viability assay in evaluation of effect of anti-bacterial substance, disinfectant or bactericidal activity of macrophages. |
