The causative agents of avian mycobacteriosis in pet birds are rarely identified. The aim of this study is to add information about the etiology of avian mycobacteriosis. The identification of mycobacterium species in 27 cases of avian mycobacteriosis in pet birds was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing of a rRNA hypervariable region. Avian mycobacteriosis appeared to be an infrequent diagnosis. Interestingly, a few cases of avian mycobacteriosis were recorded in very young birds. The most commonly affected species were the canary (Serinus canarius), the Eurasian goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) and the red siskin (Spinus cucullatus). All but one bird were infected with Mycobacterium genavense. Mycobacterium avium was identified only in one case.
宠物鸟禽分枝杆菌病的病原体很少被鉴定出来。本研究的目的是补充有关禽分枝杆菌病病因的信息。通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)和rRNA高变区测序,对27例宠物鸟禽分枝杆菌病病例中的分枝杆菌种类进行了鉴定。禽分枝杆菌病似乎是一种罕见的诊断。有趣的是,在非常年幼的鸟类中记录到了几例禽分枝杆菌病病例。最常受影响的物种是金丝雀(Serinus canarius)、欧亚金翅雀(Carduelis carduelis)和朱顶雀(Spinus cucullatus)。除一只鸟外,所有鸟都感染了日内瓦分枝杆菌。仅在一例中鉴定出鸟分枝杆菌。
