Association of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates of BOVIS and Central Asian (CAS) genotypic lineages with extrapulmonary disease
2009, Clinical Microbiology and InfectionCitation Excerpt :Studies in animals support the possibility of an enhanced ability of M. bovis, over M. tuberculosis, to cause extrapulmonary disease [19]. However, it must be considered that the high proportion of extrapulmonary localization of BOVIS TB, reported in the present article and in the other studies mentioned above [16–18], may not necessarily reflect the propensity of strains of the BOVIS lineage to disseminate, but rather the different route of exposure to these organisms, which usually involves contaminated food (especially milk) or direct contact with infected animals. There are no reports, to our knowledge, that have associated the CAS genotypic lineage with extrapulmonary TB, although a number of reports from western countries have linked extrapulmonary localization to the geographical origin and/or the immigrant status of patients.
