Abstract
Mycobacterium haemophilum, a nontuberculous mycobacterium, is a pathogen in immunocompromised human patients. We report a case of M haemophilum-induced granuloma in the spinal cord of an American Bison (Bison bison). M haemophilum infection was diagnosed by sequencing a portion of the 16 S ribosomal DNA and comparing the amplicon sequence with sequences in GenBank.
