ABSTRACT
Mayahi M, Mosavari N, Esmaeilzadeh S, Asadollahi KP., Culture media for mycobacterium avium subsp. avium from naturally infected lofts of
domestic pigeons, Onl J Vet Res., 26 (3): 238-241,
2022. We report growth of Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium on glycerinated
Lowenstein-Jensen medium, pyruvate-enriched Lowenstein-Jensen medium, mycobactin J-supplemented Herrold-egg
yolk medium and plain Herrold-egg yolk medium. Eighty
pigeons from a group of 600 pigeons were selected
for clinical signs and poor health then euthanized, necropsied
and followed by bacterial culture on specific media for Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium. Mycobacterium
avium subsp. avium were
isolated from 51 pigeons. All acid fast basil isolates were tested by PCR assays targeting 16S rRNA, IS1245 and IS901 genes. We found shorter incubation and most colony
growth in mycobactin J-supplemented Herrold-egg yolk media. Findings suggest mycobacteria mycobactin as a growth factor.
Key words: Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, pigeon, culture, PCR, mycobactin.
