在澳大利亚东南部吉普斯兰湖雷蒙德岛的7只考拉身上发现了皮肤溃疡。4只考拉的溃疡表现为皮肤组织丢失和凹陷，皮下组织凝固性坏死。这些皮损含有大量抗酸杆菌，并有肉芽组织形成和浅表性炎症。从其中2只动物中分离出溃烂分枝杆菌。另外3只考拉的溃疡中同时含有溃烂分枝杆菌和鞭毛分枝杆菌，其中坏死组织被肉芽肿反应包围，其中1例延伸至骨骼。其中四只考拉患上了溃疡。对感染的可能来源进行了讨论。
Skin ulcers were found in 7 koalas from Raymond Island in the Gippsland Lakes of southeastern Australia. Ulcers in 4 koalas showed loss and underrunning of cutaneous tissue, with coagulative necrosis of subcutaneous tissue. These lesions contained large numbers of acid-fast bacilli, and areas of granulation tissue formation and superficial inflammation were present. M. ulcerans was isolated from 2 of these animals. The ulcers from the other 3 koalas contained both M. ulcerans and M. scrofulaceum, and in these the necrotic tissue was surrounded by a granulomatous reaction which, in 1 case, extended into bone. Four of the koalas had > 1 ulcer. The possible origin of the infections is discussed.
