“…PCR results for drinking water were highly variable with an overall meta-analytic average of 23% (95%CI 6.1, 57.0), however there was only one report of a culture-positive drinking water sample (Aboagye and Rowe, 2011). Contamination of surface water, including lakes and rivers fed by runoff areas and water troughs, was investigated in seven studies that reported an overall prevalence of 12.8% culture-positive and 42.6%-90% PCR-positive samples in several countries (Table 2).…”

“…Environmental aerosols represent another possible exposure source because viable MAP has been recovered from air samples collected over rivers that drain livestock pastures [46]. As noted previously, MAP can survive chlorine disinfection treatment used for treating municipal water sources [47] and has been detected in drinking water systems [48–50]. …”

SUMMARY Crohn's disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of unknown cause, affecting approximately 1.4 million North American people. Due to the similarities between Crohn's disease and Johne’s disease, a chronic enteritis in ruminant animals caused by Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis (MAP) infection, MAP has long been considered to be a potential cause of Crohn's disease. MAP is an obligate intracellular pathogen that cannot replicate outside of animal hosts. MAP is widespread in dairy cattle and because of environmental contamination and resistance to pasteurization and chlorination, humans are frequently exposed through contamination of food and water. MAP can be cultured from the peripheral mononuclear cells from 50 to 100% of patients with Crohn's disease, and less frequently from healthy individuals. Association does not prove causation. We discuss the current data regarding MAP as a potential cause of Crohn's disease and outline what data will be required to firmly prove or disprove the hypothesis.

“…The potential role of M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis , a pathogen in ruminants, in Crohn's disease is also widely debated as a public health concern with the possibility of food‐borne exposure to mycobacterial antigens (Bosshard et al., ; Aboagye and Rowe, ; Okura et al., ; Waddell et al., , ,b).…”

Mycobacterial infections remain a public health problem. Historically important, globally ubiquitous and with a wide host range, we are still struggling to control mycobacterial infections in humans and animals. While previous reviews have focused on individual mycobacterial infections in either humans or animals, a comprehensive review of the zoonotic aspect of mycobacteria in the context of the One Health initiative is lacking. With the purpose of providing a concise and comprehensive resource, we have collated literature to address the zoonotic potential of different mycobacterial species and elaborate on the necessity for an inter-sectorial approach to attain a new vision to combat mycobacterial infections.
