Abstract
Abstract Counterimmunoelectrophoresis of serum samples and intradermal tuberculin testing were compared with cultural results for the diagnosis of mycobacterial infection in a goat herd. Only eight of 47 culture-positive animals were not identified by a combination of the other two methods. Typical isolates resembled Mycobacterium paratuberculosis in cultural characteristics and mycobactin dependence but serologically resembled Mycobacterium avium . One isolate was inoculated into guinea-pigs, mice, chickens and calves and, although the infection in guinea-pigs, mice and chickens resembled that of M. paratuberculosis , it did not cause Johne's-like disease in calves.
