In the January 2020 edition of Companion, Danièlle Gunn-Moore and Conor O’Halloran, respected specialists on mycobacteriosis in both cats and dogs including recently important work on Mycobacterium bovis, answered reader’s questions on mycobacterial infection.

This is a short collection to provide some of the answers to assist in your decision making when faced with mycobacterial infections.
