Human pathogenic Mycobacterium kansasii (former subtype I) with zoonotic potential isolated from a diseased indoor pet cat, Japan

2020-09-28

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <italic>Mycobacterium kansasii</italic> is one of the most prevalent and pathogenic nontuberculous mycobacteria in the world. Herein, we report the first case of <italic>M. kansasii</italic> infection in an indoor domestic cat in Japan. Complete genome sequence analysis of the isolate showed this pathogen is genetically identical to human pathogenic <italic>M. kansasii</italic>.
