Abstract
- Bovine tuberculosis is still a serious problem with major economic impact in many countries. The aim of study was to evaluate the diagnostic capabilities of the classical and some modern, rapid methods for isolation and identification of Mycobacterium bovis. In the period 2015-2018 from 29 outbreaks in 10 different regions of Bulgaria, 1193 lymph nodes from slaughtered cattle were examined by pathoanatomical, bacteriological, PCR and immunochromatographic methods. Of the 283 bacterial isolates, 263 were identified as M. bovis - member of the M. tuberculosis complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
