Abstract
A cat was referred because of diffuse parenchymal lung disease. Close examinations
revealed a swollen abdominal lymph node and multiple nodules of the liver.
Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis infection
was confirmed by culture and single nucleotide polymorphism analysis of samples recovered
from the liver and bronchoalveolar lavage. After administration of combination antibiotics
for 6 months, culture results were negative. Though atonic seizures were observed during
the treatment, it disappeared after isoniazid discontinuation and pyridoxal phosphate
administration. On day 771 of illness, no clinical signs, lung diseases, or obvious
swelling of lymph nodes was observed. This is the first report to confirm
Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis infection
in cats through gene analysis and to completely cure it with combination antibiotics.

Mycobacterioses in dogs and cats from Buenos Aires, Argentina. J Vet Diagn Invest 2017; 29:729-732.

Abstract
Mycobacterioses can produce nonspecific clinical signs in dogs and cats that make diagnosis difficult. Furthermore, the full characterization of mycobacterial agents is not always possible or practical. We characterized mycobacteria detected through cytology in 12 dogs and 7 cats with generalized clinical signs from the province of Buenos Aires in Argentina. In dogs, molecular testing confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) in 8 cases and M. fortuitum in 1 case. All dogs were Miniature Schnauzers, suggesting that this breed may be more susceptible to M. avium than other dog breeds. The cat isolates were 2 M. bovis, 1 M. fortuitum, and 1 MAH. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable-number tandem repeat patterns suggested possible links with cattle, swine, and humans studied previously in Argentina. The results show that pets may act as susceptible hosts with the potential risk of transmitting the infection to humans and other animals.
