ABSTRACT
This report describes the first successful isolation and identification of mycobacterial infection in humans and animals of Chad. All mycobacterial strains from human specimens were M. tuberculosis and strains from animal specimens (cattle) were M. bovis. None of the 10 of M. tuberculosis strains tested for antibiotic resistance were multidrug resistant. Due to the intrinsic resistance of M. bovis to pyrazinamide and the growing number of tuberculosis cases in HIV-infected people in Africa and elsewhere; more information on the potential of M. bovis for human infection is needed to guide disease control policy
