Why are bacteria relevant to Crohn’s? Animal model data suggests the inflammation of CD results from an abnormal response to the intestinal flora Transgenic animal models do not develop CD if raised in sterile environment CD relapses have been associated with gut pathogens like Campylobacter, Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, pathogenic E. coli Controversy is whether a specific etiologic agent is required vs. any general flora Pathogenesis of other mycobacterial infections (TB, leprosy, MAC in AIDS) shares features of CD Infectious agents implicated in IBD Diplostreptococci (UC) Bacteroides necrophorum Bacteroides fragilis Pseudomonas maltophilia Helicobacter hepaticus or pylori species and, Shigella Chlamydia Listeria measles Wolinella Coxsakie A, B Reovirus Polio virus Norwalk virus Influenza herpes virus Paramyxovirus pathogenic E. coli Is Crohn’s disease due to an infectious etiology? Ballard et al. IDCP; Nov 2002 Ballard et al. IDCP; Nov 2002 n=393 March 2000 Is Crohn’s Disease caused by MAP? Ballard et al. IDCP; Nov 2002 n=393 What is MAP? M. avium subsp paratuberculosis subsp lepraemurium subsp silvaticum and strains not belonging to any of these species that possibly form new species Very slow grower, fastidious, and intracellular pathogen Resistant to chlorine Survives pasteurization UK survey 7% of cartons positive Has been detected in human breast milk of CD patients Ubiquitous in water supply, etc UK has established guidelines to eradicate in food supply First suggested as a cause of Crohn’s by Dalziel (described Crohn’s) in 1913 1986 isolated from Crohn’s patients (Chiodini et al.

High seroprevalence in CD but variable results (p35 and p36 antibodies), and recent sero study inconclusive What is Johne’s disease ? chronic inflammatory disease of ruminants (6% of US cattle), and also primates Ileitis with chronic diarrhea and wasting Easy to detect MAP Not segmental, no fistula/strictures/abscesses/ulcers caused by MAP UK 2002 guidelines for eradication (published 8/04) Koch’s postulates 1890 German physician/bacteriologist Robert Koch Koch's postulates are as follows: The organism must be present in every case of a specific disease, but not in healthy subjects. The organism must be isolated from the host with the disease and grown in pure culture. The specific disease must be reproduced when a pure culture of the organism is inoculated into a healthy susceptible host The organism must be recoverable from the experimentally infected host may not hold if: bacteria (M. leprae, R. rickettsiae) cannot be "grown in pure culture" in the laboratory-but PCR and other molecular techniques allow identification no animal model of infection exists organism may also cause disease if: acquired extra virulence factors making it pathogenic gains access to deep tissues via trauma, surgery, an IV line, etc infects an immunocompromised patient. Ignores subclinical infection Many examples of accepted infectious etiologies that do not fit the model Cholera leprosy Are they met? The bacteria must be present in every case of the disease. The bacteria must be isolated from the host with the disease and grown in pure culture First isolated in 1984 (Chiodini) Has been isolated from Crohn’s patients, and recently from blood (?less chance of environmental contamination) The specific disease must be reproduced when a pure culture of the bacteria is inoculated into a healthy susceptible host Essentially yes for MAP in Johne’s disease Not established for CD, although most recent papers have shown higher correlation Yes but not repeatedly The bacteria must be recoverable from the experimentally infected host Yes for Johne’s (strains of human origin) Table 1 Summary of the frequency of polymerase chain reaction studies for the presence or absence of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC), and non-inflamm Reference Target Non-IBD UC CD Rosenburg et al 19918 Wu et al 19919 Sanderson et al 199210 Dell'Isola et al 199411 Lisby et al 199412 Fidler et al 199413 Suenaga et al 199514 Not stated, not IS900 Pan mycobacterial sequences IS900 IS900 IS900 IS900.

J Clin Microbiol. 2003;41:2915-2923. 92% of intestinal biopsies + for MAP (vs. 26%) Small (n=28 w/CD, 15 controls, some w/other bowel disease) Isolated MAP from blood of 50% of CD, 22% of UC and none of non-IBD pts No other organisms isolated (so not just leaky mucosa) But 20% of non-IBD pts (n=15) had MAP DNA in blood sequenced strains Sechi LA - Am J Gastroenterol - 01-JUL-2005; 100(7): 1529-36 Survey of patients having ileocolonoscopy in Sardinia 83% of CD had MAP by PCR vs 10% of controls (OR= 43) MAP was isolated in 63% vs 10% Initial form isolated was Z-N negative, then reverted to the Z-N positive form. Antibiotics in Crohn’s Variable data for metronidazole, although overall appears to have activity in Crohn’s, but poorly tolerated Case reports in 1980’s reported dramatic improvement in CD when pts rx for concomitant TB MAP is resistant to many anti-TB agents, and macrolides are the most active agent Lowest MICs High intracellular concentrations At least 17 negative trials, but none included macrolides Small open label study w.clari alone reported dramatic benefit N=25 4 trials with clarithromycin show benefit Sample sizes <60 Follow-up range 12-54 mo Triple drug therapy Enpoints variable (CR vs improved scores) All open label single controlled trial (Goodgame et al) N=30, randomized Only 12mo f/u and 3mo rx No benefit For NOD2 defect predisposes to infection with intracellular bacterial infections and is associated with CD [Girardin SE et al. Trends Immunol. 2003;24:652]. MAP RNA has been detected in a large proportion of CD patients, indicating viability organism has been cultivated from stool, intestinal tissue, and peripheral blood in patients with Crohn disease [Bull TJ et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2003;41:2915]. Clinical trials suggest benefit of effective combination therapy, albeit mostly uncontrolled small trials. Duration of rx and follow-up may have been inadequate. Negative Ziehl-Neelson staining may reflect pathogenic non-cell wall forms. Confirmed by culture data. Against Finding of MAP DNA may reflect non-viable MAP coincidentally passing through the GI tract Isolation from blood may reflect only increased intestinal permeability as a result of CD Johne’s is more similar to MAC wasting syndrome than UC Data from seroprevalence studies has been highly variable If MAC is cause, then why don’t immunosuppressants exacerbate the infection? In trials where organism was isolated, finding did not correlate with immunosuppression Increased MAP detection not reports with infliximab and other immunosuppressants MAP has been isolated from normals and UC patients and may represent epiphenomenon No epidemiological evidence that CD is associated with exposure to ruminents Future Results of Australian RPCT of 2 years’ rx of 214 pts with clari/rifabutin/clofazimine pending Complete genome of MAP just published (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A - 30-AUG-2005; 102(35): 12344-9) RPCT’s with long term follow-up using drugs known to be active against MAP Better case definitions and more uniform therapeutic endpoints More basic science ?Australian study Pre-exposure histology, cultures and PCR then post-exposure Immunogenetics Better epidemiology (?trace a strain from cow to human) Antibiotics in Crohn’s 32.

Trends Immunol. 2003;24:652]. The DNA of M. avium ss paratuberculosis has been detected by PCR in 90% of cases, by in situ hybridization in 70% of cases, and by RT-PCR in up to 100% of cases [Sechi LA et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2001;39:4514; Mishina D et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 1996;93:9816]. This organism has been cultivated from stool, intestinal tissue, and peripheral blood in patients with Crohn disease [Bull TJ et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2003;41:2915]. Serologic tests support this association, but results have been variable [Collins MT et al. J Clin Microbiol. 2000;38:4373]. Multiple antibiotic trials with Crohn disease have been negative including those using antituberculous agents. However, treatment of this pathogen requires macrolides, and since 1997, 4 trials with macrolides have shown complete clinical remission in up to 66% [Greenstein RJ. Lancet Infect Dis. 2003;3:507]. This organism causes a similar, but not at all identical, disease in cattle characterized by granulomatous inflammation of the intestine [Mortensen HJ. Dairy Sci. 2004;87: 2108].
