Abstract:
:We have been able to isolate mycobacteria from intestinal specimens obtained by surgical resection or endoscopic biopsy from patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and noninflammatory bowel diseases. Nineteen slow-growing (Runyon groups I and III) and 17 rapid-growing (Runyon group IV) mycobacterial isolates were obtained. Slow-growing mycobacteria were recovered from approximately one-third of intestinal biopsy specimens from Crohn's disease, one-quarter of ulcerative colitis biopsies, and 40% of biopsies from noninflammatory bowel disease patients. Isolates were most commonly members of the Mycobacterium avium-complex. One isolate (from an ulcerative colitis patient) was biochemically similar to the Mycobacterium strain previously associated with Crohn's disease, and one from a Crohn's disease patient was Mycobacterium kansasii. The rapid-growing organisms were members of the Mycobacterium fortuitum-complex. In addition to conventional mycobacteria, spheroplasts (cell wall-defective forms) were isolated from 12 patients with Crohn's disease (most often from surgically resected colon) and 3 patients with ulcerative colitis; none were isolated from non-inflammatory bowel disease patients. We have been unable to identify a consistent relationship between the presence, or the species, of Mycobacterium and Crohn's disease. Our results do not support the proposed role of a specific mycobacterium in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. The cause of Crohn's disease remains unclear.
