Complex research results on a tubercular infection

Analysis of complex research on a tubercular infection in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) is presented. Epidemiological aspects of tuberculosis in the republic, problem of nonspecific tuberculin reactions at animals, questions of prophylaxis of tuberculosis are affected. Human biomaterial cultures have been identified as non-tuberculous mycobacterium II (M. scrofulaceum) and IV (M. fortuitum) Runann group, as well as Rotococcus. The simultaneous persistence in the body of sick people of the causative agent of tuberculosis and the M. avium-intracellulare complex has been established. Thus, the detection of conditionally pathogenic mycobacteria indicates an important etiological role of non-tuberculous mycobacteria in human and animal diseases.
