Content:
This book covers Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) and Mycobacterium leprae across a range of host species. They are considered in regards to increasing drug resistance, HIV co-infection associated with M. tuberculosis and the possible cross-infection of badgers and cattle associated with M. bovis.
