摘要:The strain of tuberculous mycobacteria called Mycobacterium caprae infects many wild and domestic animals; however,because of its zoonotic potential and possibility of transmission between animals and humans, it poses a serious threat topublic health. Due to diagnostic limitations regarding identification of MTB strains available data regarding the incidenceof M. caprae, human infection does not reflect the actual size of the problem. Despite the fact that the possible routes oftuberculosis transmission are known, the epidemiological map of this zoonosis remains underestimated. The progressin diagnostic techniques, application of advanced methods of mycobacterium genome differentiation and cooperationbetween scientists in the field of veterinary medicine and microbiology, have a profound meaning for understanding thephenomenon of bovine tuberculosis and its supervise its incidence. This is the first bacteriologically confirmed case ofhuman infection of M. caprae in Poland.
