The authors report the results of a survey on the possible role of human Mycobacterium in the ganglio-pulmonary tuberculosis of bovines. 232 bovines seized in the abattoirs of Algiers over a period of 8 months were concerned by this work. The results obtained showed that microscopic examination was negative in 50% of cases. This result was expected as ganglionary lesions are paucibacillary. Cultures were also negative in 50% of cases, 25% of them were contaminated. 50% rate of positive cultures was obtained when Loewenstein-Jensen medium with 1% pyruvate was used. Morphological and biochemical identification showed that out of 113 strains, 7 were Mycobacterium tuberculosis (6.2%). In seems therefore that Mycobacterium tuberculosis, human pathogen, is also pathogenic for bovines. Its frequent occurrence could be explained by the high prevalence of human tuberculosis in Algeria.
作者报告了一项关于人类分枝杆菌在牛的淋巴结 - 肺结核中可能作用的调查结果。这项工作涉及在阿尔及尔屠宰场8个月内查获的232头牛。获得的结果表明，50%的病例显微镜检查呈阴性。由于淋巴结病变菌量少，这个结果在意料之中。培养结果在50%的病例中也呈阴性，其中25%被污染。当使用含1%丙酮酸的罗 - 琴培养基时，培养阳性率为50%。形态学和生化鉴定表明，在113株菌株中，7株为结核分枝杆菌（6.2%）。因此，人类病原体结核分枝杆菌似乎对牛也具有致病性。其频繁出现可能是由于阿尔及利亚人类结核病的高流行率所致。
