While this community is not a substitute for doctor's advice and we cannot treat or diagnose, we find being able to communicate with others who have IBD is invaluable as we navigate our struggles and celebrate our successes.

New Research Project Looks at the Susceptibility of MAP Strains to Antibiotic Combinations

MAP (Mycobacterium avium spp. paratuberculosis) has long been proposed as a cause of Crohn's. Human Para is a 501(c)(3) charity which was formed in 2017 to sponsor evidence-based research projects which either include or exclude MAP's involvement in Crohn's disease.

The first two studies investigated MAP detection techniques in human blood samples:

This new third study branches out to look at in vitro susceptibility of a variety of human and animal MAP strains to combination antibiotics and essential oils.
