Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, poses public health risks through animal-derived products. This study evaluated the genetic diversity of M. bovis in 103 cattle tissue samples from tuberculin-positive or lesion-suspected slaughtered animals and 435 randomly collected dairy samples (335 milk, 100 traditional cheese) in northwest Iran. Positive samples were genotyped using a 12-locus...
