Mycobacterium tuberculosis remains the main cause
of human tuberculosis (TB), with an unknown proportion
of cases caused by M. bovis. Here we describe
a case of pulmonary TB caused by mixed infection as
studied from sequential sputum sampling and isolation
of M. tuberculosis and M. bovis using a reverse
dot blot (RDB) assay.
