Concluding Remarks and Future Directions

MAP is a highly successful pathogen with di­verse survival mechanisms. The secrets to its unique abilities are undoubtedly encoded in its 4.8-megabase genome. Since the MAP genome sequence was published in 2005, little research has focused on functional analysis of this fas­tidious organism.
