我们报告了一例非典型分枝杆菌感染的印度扑壳龟，Lissemys punctata punctata，死于日本的一个水族馆。尸检时，龟被囊表面可见多发白色结节，并可见肝、脾、肠、肺等脏器实质。组织学上，在中心坏死区周围可见肉芽肿性炎症。Ziehl-Neelsen染色切片显示巨噬细胞细胞质和坏死中心区域有大量抗酸杆菌。经PCR和核苷酸序列分析鉴定为分枝杆菌，与溃疡分枝杆菌同源性为98 ~ 100%。据我们所知，这是海龟因溃疡分枝杆菌引起的分枝杆菌病的第一次报告。
We report an atypical mycobacterial infection in an Indian flap-shelled turtle, Lissemys punctata punctata, that died in an aquarium in Japan. At necropsy, the turtle showed multiple white nodules on the capsular surface and parenchyma of various organs such as the liver, spleen, intestine, and lung. Histologically, granulomatous inflammation surrounding a central zone of necrosis was observed. Sections stained by the Ziehl-Neelsen method revealed numerous acid-fast bacilli in the cytoplasm of macrophages and in the central area of necrosis. The organisms were identified as a mycobacterial species by PCR and nucleotide sequence analysis and revealed 98-100% homology to M. ulcerans. This is, to our knowledge, the first report of mycobacteriosis due to M. ulcerans in a turtle.
