Abstract: Mycobacterium
paratuberculosis commonly infects dairy cattle,
leading to Johne's disease, which is also known as paratuberculosis. The infection is chronic, progressive,
and incurable. As the infection progresses, excretion of M. paratuberculosis
in feces and milk occurs, and the bacterium spreads through the blood to
multiple internal organs. Consequently, raw products originating from
cattle may harbor M. paratuberculosis.
Thermal treatments, such as pasteurization, are commonly relied on to kill
food-borne bacterial pathogens that can infect humans. The small number of
studies conducted to determine the thermal resistance of M. paratuberculosis
suggest that it is less susceptible to destruction by heat killing
than are milkborne zoonotic
bacterial pathogens such as Listeria spp. or Mycobacterium
bovis. Published reports concerning the thermal
resistance of M. paratuberculosis
in milk are reviewed herein, and key issues concerning the efficacy of
pasteurization for elimination of M. paratuberculosis from milk are summarized.
Descriptors: Johne’s disease, raw bovine based products, human health risks, review of literature
