 Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) : Bureau of Tuberculosis Control : NYC DOHMH
bovis is a germ that primarily causes tuberculosis in cattle, but it may also infect and cause illness among other animals, including humans.
Other symptoms may manifest themselves depending on the part of the body affected by the disease: disease in the lungs may be associated with a cough; lymph node disease may cause swelling in the neck; and gastrointestinal disease may cause abdominal pain and swelling, and diarrhea.
bovis tuberculosis is diagnosed by isolating the bacteria from sites of infection in a patient, such as lymph nodes in the neck or abdomen, or from sputum produced by coughing.

Abstract:  Mycobacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex have the ability to invade and replicate in nonphagocytic cells, an event that requires the presence of bacterial surface components capable of triggering a cell response and the subsequent internalization of the microorganism.
In this study, we report the sequencing of the mycobacterial cell entry gene (mce) of Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and the generation and characterization of a mutant BCG strain with an inactivated mce gene, by homologous recombination with double cross-over.

bovis and M. tuberculosis (the M. tuberculosis complex) are pathogenic for man and are distinct from the "atypical" mycobacteria that tend to be opportunistic.
Infection with M. bovis or M. tuberculosis, even if disseminated, is generally not considered opportunistic and is, therefore, not used as a marker for AIDS in CDC's surveillance definition of AIDS (3).
The BCG strain of M. bovis, however, being attenuated and not usually a cause of disease, may be considered an opportunist.
