We report the first case of pulmonary tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis subsp. caprae in a captive Siberian tiger, an endangered feline. The pathogen was isolated from a tracheal aspirate obtained by bronchoscopy. This procedure provided a reliable in vivo diagnostic method in conjunction with conventional and molecular tests for the detection of mycobacteria.
我们报告了首例圈养西伯利亚虎(一种濒危猫科动物)感染牛分枝杆菌山羊亚种导致肺结核的病例。病原体是从通过支气管镜检查获得的气管吸出物中分离出来的。该程序结合传统和分子检测方法,为检测分枝杆菌提供了一种可靠的体内诊断方法。
