A case of zoonotic Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in a marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) is reported. Genomic typing of the relevant M. tuberculosis isolates strongly suggests that the marmoset, which was kept as companion animal, acquired the disease from an infected member in the household who had been treated for pulmonary tuberculosis 8 years prior to this case.
报告了一例普通狨猴(Callithrix jacchus)感染人畜共患结核分枝杆菌的病例。对相关结核分枝杆菌分离株的基因分型强烈表明,这只作为伴侣动物饲养的普通狨猴是从家中一名曾在本病例发生8年前接受过肺结核治疗的受感染成员那里感染了该病。
