Abstract
The first evidence of the potential pathogenicity of Mycobacterium thermoresistibile in cats is presented. This mycobacterium was isolated repeatedly from intra- and subcutaneous nodules, aspirated fluid from fluctuating skin lesions, and lymph nodes. The distinctive characteristics of the cultured organisms matched those of M. thermoresistibile.
