Unique genotypes of subsp. strains of Type III

subsp. (MAP) strains with two new IS restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) EII types intermediate suspected to belong to the MAP Type III group were isolated from migrating sheep in Germany. Such strains have only been sporadically identified in a few studies. For a better understanding of the genomic diversity of MAP with regard to specific host associations, geographic origin, and the discussed classification into Type I, II and III, these isolates were further characterized.
