Abstract

Finding evidence of MAP bacteremia in patients with T1DM is a novel observation that might provide an important foundation in establishing an infectious etiology for T1DM. These results also might possibly have implications for countries that have the greatest livestock populations and high incidence of MAP concurrent with the highest numbers of patients with T1DM. Although it is tempting to suggest that MAP could be a potential cause of autoimmune responses associated with T1DM in Sardinia, we believe that a large‐scale study involving patients from different genetic and geographic backgrounds might further validate our findings.
