Abstract

Disseminated mycobacteriosis in a 3-year-old domestic medium-haired cat was diagnosed on lymph node cytology. Slide scrape lysates from the cytology submission were used to confirmby polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing and proved a simple technique that could be a valuable tool in veterinary diagnostics and research.
