Use of slide scrape lysates for polymerase chain reaction confirmation of disseminated Mycobacterium avium infection in a cat.

ABSTRACT: Disseminated mycobacteriosis in a 3-year-old domestic medium-haired cat was diagnosed on lymph node cytology. Slide scrape lysates from the cytology submission were used to confirm Mycobacterium avium by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing and proved a simple technique that could be a valuable tool in veterinary diagnostics and research.
