2002 journal article

Isolation and identification of Mycobacterium kansasii from pleural fluid of a dog with persistent pleural effusion

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 220(9), 1336–1340.

By: B. Pressler n, E. Hardie*, C. Pitulle*, R. Hopwood, S. Sontakke* & E. Breitschwerdt* 

MeSH headings : Animals; Base Sequence; DNA, Bacterial / analysis; Dog Diseases / diagnosis; Dog Diseases / microbiology; Dogs; Fatal Outcome; Female; Lung / surgery; Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous / diagnosis; Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous / microbiology; Mycobacterium Infections, Nontuberculous / veterinary; Mycobacterium kansasii / classification; Mycobacterium kansasii / genetics; Mycobacterium kansasii / isolation & purification; Pleural Effusion / diagnosis; Pleural Effusion / microbiology; Pleural Effusion / veterinary; Polymerase Chain Reaction / veterinary; Recurrence
TL;DR: This is the first report of M. kansasii infection in a dog, and one of few reports of antemortem mycobacterial isolation from a body fluid, as opposed to identification in specimens during histologic examination. (via Semantic Scholar)
