Mycobacterium haemophilum, a nontuberculous mycobacterium, is a pathogen in immunocompromised human patients. We report a case of M haemophilum-induced granuloma in the spinal cord of an American Bison (Bison bison). M haemophilum infection was diagnosed by sequencing a portion of the 16 S ribosomal DNA and comparing the amplicon sequence with sequences in GenBank.
嗜血性分枝杆菌是一种非结核分枝杆菌,是免疫功能低下的人类患者的病原体。我们报告了一例美国野牛(美洲野牛)脊髓中由嗜血性分枝杆菌引起的肉芽肿病例。通过对16S核糖体DNA的一部分进行测序,并将扩增子序列与GenBank中的序列进行比较,诊断出嗜血性分枝杆菌感染。
