In this study, the possible presence was monitored of <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> subspecies <i>paratuberculosis</i> (<i>MAP</i>) and <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> subspecies <i>avium</i> (<i>MAA</i>) by means of culture examination and PCR in 251 bulk tank milk samples from dairy herds in the Czech Republic between 2002 and 2004. The detection of <i>MAP</i> and <i>MAP</i> DNA in repeatedly collected bulk tank milk (BTM) samples from the selected cattle farms (seven farms) was the second purpose of the study. By culture, <i>MAP</i> was detected in 5 (2.0%) and <i>MAP</i> DNA in 85 (33.9%) of the total of 251 BTM samples. <i>MAA</i> was detected by culture and by PCR in 1 (0.4%) of the 251 BTM samples. This study demonstrates the presence of <i>MAP</i> and <i>MAA</i> in dairy herds in the Czech Republic.
