The attenuated BCG strain of Mycobacterium bovis is widely used as a vaccine against tuberculosis. However, in rare cases, it can be pathogenic to humans. Here, we report the first draft of a whole-genome sequence of a multidrug-resistant clinical isolate of M. bovis BCG.

we have reviewed the medical records of 40 patients with disseminated (bacille calmette-guerin) bcg from 1996 to 1999 in the immunology department of the children hospital, medical center, tehran university. these patients are divided in to 3 groups: 1. patients who had disseminated (bacille calmette-guerin) bcg after vaccination and their diagnosis was chronic granulomatous disease. 2. patient...

Cultures of Mycobacterium bovis BCG, comprising predominantly single-cell bacilli, were prepared in broth without animal-derived reagents. When formulated into a vegetable-derived lipid matrix, the vaccine was stable in vitro and was immunogenic in vivo upon feeding it to mice. This formulation could be useful for oral vaccination of wildlife against tuberculosis, where concern over transmissib...
