Article Synopsis
- Tuberculosis (TB) in dairy cattle poses a risk to humans, especially in regions like Baja California, Mexico, where TB prevalence is high and raw dairy consumption is common.
- A two-year study collected and analyzed samples from cattle and cheese in Baja California using whole-genome sequencing (WGS), revealing a significant recovery and detection of mycobacterial samples along with a high agreement between diagnostic tests.
- Phylogenetic analysis identified 10 major clades of TB isolates and suggested ongoing local transmission among dairies, with close genetic relationships between isolates from cattle, cheese, and humans, indicating a potential source of infection in the region.
