Mycobacterium bovis nom. nov. [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1970 ABSTRACT The agent of bovine tuberculosis has been recognized at various times as a species or as a subspecies in the genus Mycobacterium Lehmann and Neumann. Although the organism is closely related to M. tuberculosis (Zopf) Lehmann and Neumann, the two species are clearly distinguished on the basis of differences in their rates of growth ...

Recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG
Vaccine, 2009 The Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis that has been broadly used as a vaccine against human tuberculosis. This live bacterial vaccine is able to establish a persistent infection and induces both cellular and humoral immune responses. The development of mycobacterial genetic systems to express foreign antigens

Cat-to-Human Transmission of Mycobacterium bovis, United Kingdom
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019 Human infection with Mycobacterium bovis is reported infrequently in the United Kingdom. Most cases involve previous consumption of unpasteurized milk. We report a rare occurrence of 2 incidents of cat-to-human transmission of M.
