Testung mit homologen und heterologen Tuberkulinen nach Sensibilisierung mit „atypischen“ Mycobakterienstämmen (Versuche am Meerschweinchen und am Rind)

Mycobacterium Fortuitum Infection Interference with Mycobacterium Bovis Diagnostics: Natural Infection Cases and a Pilot Experimental Infection

“…12 While the most probable source of natural infection of buffalo and cattle with M. fortuitum would be soil and water, it has actually been shown that oral administration of M. fortuitum in cattle led to skin reactivity to mammalian and avian tuberculin as well as Fortuitum. 6 A previous study 12 of experimentally sensitized cattle with 5 different nontuberculous mycobacteria measured their skin reaction to intradermal injection of sensitins prepared from the same strains. It found that the homologous sensitin caused distinctly larger reactions than heterologous sensitins.…”
