From Peruvian mummies to living humans: first case of pulmonary tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium pinnipedii
The zoonotic potential of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex species is well known. However, M. pinnipedii, the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) predominantly in seals and sea lions, has never been isolated from a respiratory specimen in humans. Here we describe the first known human case of pulmonary TB caused by M. pinnipedii in a 79-year-old female patient with rheumatoid arthritis and chronic respiratory disease. The epidemiological data did not explain where the patient was exposed to M. pinnipedii, thus leaving the source of transmission unknown.
