<i>Mycobacterium avium</i> subsp. <i>hominissuis</i> infection in horses with granulomatous enterocolitis – first report in Poland
Mycobacteriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic debilitating equine diarrhoea in addition to rhodococcosis, lawsoniosis, salmonellosis, gastric ulcers and food intolerance. Peritoneal fluid obtained by abdominocentesis proved to be an effective diagnostic method for microbiological and molecular identification of <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> subsp. <i>hominissuis</i> in horses with suspected enteric mycobacteriosis and concomitant ascites.
