Abstract
Mycobacterial diseases are being more frequently diagnosed in companion animals in first opinion practice in the UK. These infections can be challenging both to diagnose and manage; this and a following article aim to give an overview of the relevant background and epidemiology, diagnosis, management and prognosis for companion animal mycobacteriosis (CAM). This first article discusses the different mycobacterial species involved with CAM, the epidemiology and the various clinical presentations which may result from infection.
