Article Synopsis
  • - Complex (MAC) bacteria, particularly Mycobacterium avium subspecies (MAH), are significant causes of lymphadenitis in pigs and have been linked to human infections, especially in children, highlighting their economic and public health relevance.
  • - This study involved collecting lymph nodes from 132 asymptomatic slaughter pigs across South Africa for analysis, utilizing mycobacterial culture and PCR to identify various MAC species and subspecies through genetic sequencing.
  • - Results showed a predominance of MAH in isolated samples and established novel genotypes, emphasizing the need for further epidemiological research to understand the impact of MAC on both human health and the livestock economy in South Africa.
