Recovery of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Complex Isolates Including Pre–Extensively Drug-Resistant Strains From Cattle at a Slaughterhouse in Chennai, India
The detection of pre-XDR <i>M tuberculosis</i> in cattle highlights a potential public health concern, since controlling human TB alone may be insufficient without addressing bovine TB. Overall, our findings underscore an urgent need for targeted interventions to mitigate zoonotic tuberculosis transmission in regions where bTB is endemic.
