In the works to field exists controversy about the relevance of these environmental mycobacteria when control and eradication of animal tuberculosis are applied.The production of PPDs from the isolated soils from the province of La Pampa and the verification of the possible crossed reaction with bovine tuberculin PPD, prescribed test for international trade. Two lots of PPDs corresponding of M. phlei and M. fortuitum were elaborated with a protein content of 1.5mg/mL both.Guinea pigs were sensitized with dead M. phlei, M. fortuitum and M. bovis.After 60 days the potency tests were made bioassay at the guinea pigs, using also like standard of reference bovine PPD,Lot.N°5 DILAB and employing a Latin square design. -

Mycobacterium Bovis, Summer Food Safety and Adolescent Immunizations
Mycobacterium Bovis, Summer Food Safety and Adolescent Immunizations Summer 2013 Mycobacterium Bovis In the United States, the majority of tuberculosis (TB) cases in people are caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is another mycobacterium that can cause TB disease in people. M. bovis causes a relatively small proportion, less than 2%, of the total number of cases of TB disease in the United States. This accounts for less than 230 TB cases per year in the United States. M. bovis transmission from cattle to people was once common in the United States. This has been greatly reduced by decades of disease control in cattle and by routine pasteurization of cow’s milk. People are most commonly infected with M. bovis by eating or drinking contaminated, unpasteurized dairy products. The pasteurization process, which destroys disease-causing organisms in milk by rapidly heating and then cooling the milk, eliminates M. bovis from milk products. Infection can also occur from direct contact with a wound, such as what might occur during slaughter or hunting, or by inhaling the bacteria in air exhaled by animals infected with M. bovis. Direct transmission from animals to humans through the air is thought to be rare, but M. bovis can be spread directly from person to person when people with the disease in their lungs cough or sneeze. Not all M. bovis infections progress to TB disease, so there may be no symptoms at all. In people, symptoms of TB disease caused by M. bovis are similar to the symptoms of TB caused by M. -
Tuberculosis Caused by Mycobacterium Bovis Infection in A
Ikuta et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2018) 14:289 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-018-1618-6 CASEREPORT Open Access Tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis infection in a captive-bred American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeiana) Cassia Yumi Ikuta2* , Laura Reisfeld1, Bruna Silvatti1, Fernanda Auciello Salvagni2, Catia Dejuste de Paula2, Allan Patrick Pessier3, José Luiz Catão-Dias2 and José Soares Ferreira Neto2 Abstract Background: Tuberculosis is widely known as a progressive disease that affects endothermic animals, leading to death and/or economical losses, while mycobacterial infections in amphibians are commonly due to nontuberculous mycobacteria. To the authors’ knowledge, this report describes the first case of bovine tuberculosis in a poikilothermic animal. Case presentation: An adult female captive American bullfrog (Lithobates catesbeianus Shaw, 1802) died in a Brazilian aquarium. Multiple granulomas with acid-fast bacilli were observed in several organs. Identification of Mycobacterium bovis was accomplished by culture and PCR methods. The other animals from the same enclosure were euthanized, but no evidence of mycobacterial infection was observed. Conclusions: The American bullfrog was introduced in several countries around the world as an alternative husbandry, and its production is purposed for zoological and aquarium collections, biomedical research, education, human consumption and pet market. The present report warns about an episode of bovine tuberculosis in an amphibian, therefore further studies are necessary to define this frog species’ role in the epidemiology of M. bovis. Keywords: Amphibian, Bovine tuberculosis, Bullfrog, Mycobacterium bovis Background most NTM infections in amphibians are thought to be The genus Mycobacterium comprises several species, opportunistic and acquired from environmental sources, such as members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis such as soil, water and biofilms [5, 6]. -
Piscine Mycobacteriosis
Piscine Importance The genus Mycobacterium contains more than 150 species, including the obligate Mycobacteriosis pathogens that cause tuberculosis in mammals as well as environmental saprophytes that occasionally cause opportunistic infections. At least 20 species are known to Fish Tuberculosis, cause mycobacteriosis in fish. They include Mycobacterium marinum, some of its close relatives (e.g., M. shottsii, M. pseudoshottsii), common environmental Piscine Tuberculosis, organisms such as M. fortuitum, M. chelonae, M. abscessus and M. gordonae, and Swimming Pool Granuloma, less well characterized species such as M. salmoniphilum and M. haemophilum, Fish Tank Granuloma, among others. Piscine mycobacteriosis, which has a range of outcomes from Fish Handler’s Disease, subclinical infection to death, affects a wide variety of freshwater and marine fish. It Fish Handler’s Nodules has often been reported from aquariums, research laboratories and fish farms, but outbreaks also occur in free-living fish. The same organisms sometimes affect other vertebrates including people. Human infections acquired from fish are most often Last Updated: November 2020 characterized by skin lesions of varying severity, which occasionally spread to underlying joints and tendons. Some lesions may be difficult to cure, especially in those who are immunocompromised. Etiology Mycobacteriosis is caused by members of the genus Mycobacterium, which are Gram-positive, acid fast, pleomorphic rods in the family Mycobacteriaceae and order Actinomycetales. This genus is traditionally divided into two groups: the members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (e.g., M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. caprae, M. pinnipedii), which cause tuberculosis in mammals, and the nontuberculous mycobacteria. The organisms in the latter group include environmental saprophytes, which sometimes cause opportunistic infections, and other species such as M. -

In Algeria however, the M. bovis population structure is unknown, limiting understanding of the sources and transmission of bovine tuberculosis. In this study, we identified the whole genome sequence (WGS) of 13 M. bovis strains isolated from animals exhibiting lesions compatible with tuberculosis, which were slaughtered and inspected in five slaughterhouses in Algeria. We found that six isolates were grouped together with reference clinical strains of M. bovis genotype-Unknown2. One isolate was related to M.
