A case of pyogranulomatous dermatitis, caused by Mycobacterium abscessus, an unusual opportunistic Mycobacterium spp., is described in a cat. Histopathological examination of the affected skin confirmed the diagnosis and Ziehl-Neelsen staining revealed acid-fast rods. A rapidly growing mycobacterium was found after culture on a Löwenstein-Jensen medium. Real-time polymerase chain reaction for the 16S rDNA (434bp) sequence and the sequence of the rpoB gene (359bp) revealed 99% and 100% matches, respectively, with M. abscessus. This is the first report of a feline infection caused by this organism in Europe.
本文描述了一例由脓肿分枝杆菌（一种不常见的机会性分枝杆菌属菌种）引起的猫脓性肉芽肿性皮炎病例。对患猫皮肤进行组织病理学检查确诊了该病，齐-尼氏染色显示有抗酸杆菌。在罗-琴培养基上培养后发现了一种生长迅速的分枝杆菌。针对16S rDNA（434bp）序列和rpoB基因（359bp）序列的实时聚合酶链反应结果显示，分别与脓肿分枝杆菌有99%和100%的匹配度。这是欧洲首例关于该病原体引起猫感染的报告。
