Our study is the first report of exceptional Mycobacterium bovis strains that have some characteristics of M. tuberculosis. The strains were isolated from 8 patients living in Kazakhstan. While molecular markers were typical for M. bovis, growth characteristics and biochemical test results were intermediate between M. bovis and M. tuberculosis.
我们的研究首次报道了具有结核分枝杆菌某些特征的异常牛分枝杆菌菌株。这些菌株是从哈萨克斯坦的8名患者中分离出来的。虽然分子标记对于牛分枝杆菌来说是典型的,但生长特性和生化测试结果介于牛分枝杆菌和结核分枝杆菌之间。
