Abstract

Disseminated infection with Mycobacterium genavense was diagnosed in an adult grizzled giant squirrel (Ratufa macroura). Microscopical examination showed granulomatous inflammation in the brain, kidneys, lungs and maxilla with intracellular acid-fast bacilli. M. genavense and a novel species of Mycobacterium (proposed name 'Mycobacterium lipsiensis') were identified.

摘要

在一只成年银背巨松鼠（Ratufa macroura）中诊断出感染了日内瓦分枝杆菌。显微镜检查显示，大脑、肾脏、肺和上颌骨出现肉芽肿性炎症，伴有细胞内抗酸杆菌。鉴定出了日内瓦分枝杆菌和一种新的分枝杆菌物种（提议命名为“利普斯分枝杆菌”）。
