Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, has been identified a serious threat to human population. It has been found that sodium butyrate (NaB), the inhibitor of histone deacetylase, can promote the expression of cathelicidin (LL37) and help the body to resist a variety of injuries. In the current study, we investigate the...

The wild pig population on Molokai, Hawaii, USA is a possible reservoir for bovine tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium bovis , and has been implicated in decades past as the source of disease for the island’s domestic cattle. Heat-inactivated vaccines have been effective for reducing disease prevalence in wild boar in Spain and could prove useful...

In South Africa, bovine tuberculosis threatens some of Africa’s most iconic wildlife species, including the cheetah ( Acinonyx jubatus ). The lack of antemortem diagnostic tests for this species strongly hinders conservation efforts. We report use of antemortem and postmortem diagnostic assays to detect Mycobacterium bovis infection in a cheetah.

A 74-year-old man underwent intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) therapy for bladder cancer and later presented with lower left back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spine showed high signal intensity, diagnosed as a cystic lesion in the epidural and bilateral intestinal psoas muscle. A computed tomography-guided needle biopsy and his...

All effects taken together, bovine tuberculosis (bTB) has a long-term detrimental effect on bovine herds and many wildlife species in South Africa. The disease is not only found in domestic cattle but also in African buffaloes and has to date been diagnosed in 21 wildlife species, including several rare and endangered species, thus having a potenti...

Vascular bypass graft infection with Mycobacterium bovis following Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy for bladder cancer is an incredibly rare complication. We present the case of an 85-year-old man with a history of femorofemoral bypass who developed this complication over a year after BCG treatment. He was successfully treated with expl...

Bovine tuberculosis is caused by infection with Mycobacterium bovis , which can also cause disease in a range of other mammals, including humans. Alveolar macrophages are the key immune effector cells that first encounter M. bovis and how the macrophage epigenome responds to mycobacterial pathogens is currently not well understood. Here, we have us...

Background and Objectives: Bovine tuberculosis diagnosis is usually performed by various tests with specific limitations. Mycobacterium bovis culture filtrate contains antigenic proteins that could be used to improve the sensitivity of bovine tuberculosis diagnosis. The objective of this study was to identify and purify antigenic proteins from cult...

Background and objectives Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium caprae are two of the most important agents of tuberculosis in livestock and the most important causes of zoonotic tuberculosis in humans. However, little is known about the global population structure, phylogeography and evolutionary history of these pathogens. Methodology We compiled...
