Abstract

In this present study 103 samples of pigs from the Uberlândia area were submitted to bacteriological analyses. Tissues with abscess were present in 12 samples; lymphonodes without lesions in 20 samples and 71 of them were lymphonodes with lesions “tuberculosis-like infection”. The bacteriological analyses of the 103 samples have permitted the isolation of 12 mycobacterias strains, all of them from the 71 lymphonodes with lesions. The mycobacterias strains were identified as belonging to Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare Complex (MAI).
