ABSTRACT
Mycobacterium was verified in animals from a Brazilian dairy herd, a total of 42 samples from 30 cows were submitted to culture and the isolated strains were analyzed by two polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the first specific for species belonging to the Mycobacterium complex (MTBC) and the other for differentiating M. tuberculosis from M. bovis. Twenty seven samples (64.3 percent) from 18 animals (60 percent) were positive for mycobacteria by culture, including samples from 15 retrofaryngeal lymphnodes (55.5 percent), 9 prescapular lymphnodes (33.3 percent), 2 lungs (7.4 percent), and 1 liver (3.7 percent). All isolated colonies were confirmed by PCR to contain MTBC organisms, and were identified as M. bovis by the same methodology.
