分支杆菌病可在犬和猫中产生非特异性临床体征，使诊断困难。此外，分枝杆菌制剂的完整表征并不总是可能或实际的。我们的特点是通过细胞学检测分枝杆菌在12只狗和7只猫从阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯省的一般临床症状。在狗中，分子检测证实了鸟分枝杆菌亚种的存在。hominissuis（MAH）8例;意外1例。所有的狗都是迷你雪纳瑞，这表明这个品种可能更容易受到M。比其他狗品种。猫分离株为2 M。bovis，1 M.福妥昔单抗和1例MAH。分枝杆菌穿插重复单位可变数目串联重复模式建议可能与牛，猪，和人类以前在阿根廷研究。研究结果显示，宠物可能是易感宿主，有可能将感染传染给人类和其他动物。
Mycobacterioses can produce nonspecific clinical signs in dogs and cats that make diagnosis difficult. Furthermore, the full characterization of mycobacterial agents is not always possible or practical. We characterized mycobacteria detected through cytology in 12 dogs and 7 cats with generalized clinical signs from the province of Buenos Aires in Argentina. In dogs, molecular testing confirmed the presence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) in 8 cases and M. fortuitum in 1 case. All dogs were Miniature Schnauzers, suggesting that this breed may be more susceptible to M. avium than other dog breeds. The cat isolates were 2 M. bovis, 1 M. fortuitum, and 1 MAH. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable-number tandem repeat patterns suggested possible links with cattle, swine, and humans studied previously in Argentina. The results show that pets may act as susceptible hosts with the potential risk of transmitting the infection to humans and other animals.
