“…Many methods for diagnosing tuberculosis have been tried, but in the cat they have generally proved unhelpful. Unlike other species cats do not react strongly to intradermally administered tuberculin and the results obtained from trials of intradermal skin testing have been unreliable (Hawthorne and Lauder 1962, Parodi and others 1966, Snider and others 1971, Greene 1990). Serological tests have proved similarly unreliable (Snider and others 1971).…”

The literature relating to feline mycobacterial disease is reviewed and 19 cats with tuberculosis caused by a previously unknown strain of mycobacterium are discussed. The bacteria were found to have characteristics between those of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M bovis. The paper considers the clinical signs, epidemiology and diagnosis of the cases, and discusses the possible origins of the organism, treatment regimens and zoonotic potential.

“…THERE have been several reports of tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis in cats (Jennings 1949, Snider 1971, Snider and others 1971); M tuberculosis has also been reported (Hawthorne and Lauder 1962) and these reports have important zoonotic implications. It has been suggested that the disease may be transmitted through the ingestion of infected milk or meat products, as a result of bite wounds, or through the shedding of the organisms in saliva, faeces, urine or from discharging wounds or sinuses in an infected animal.…”

A histological examination of a biopsy from a firm submandibular mass in a seven-year-old domestic short-haired cat revealed a granulomatous lymphadenitis associated with the presence of small numbers of acid-fast bacilli. The cat was euthanased and subjected to a detailed post mortem examination which revealed extensive granulomatous inflammation in the right and left bronchial, para-aortic, mesenteric and colic lymph nodes, with small or early lesions in the lung and Peyer's patches of the ileum. Mycobacteria were isolated from the submandibular, mesenteric and cervical lymph nodes. The bacilli reacted with a DNA probe specific for the tuberculosis complex, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M bovis, but had cultural characteristics intermediate between these two species. The pathological findings are compared with previous reports of mycobacterial infections in cats, and the public health implications are discussed.
