Therefore, this article includes a description of common bacterial, mycobacterial, viral, fungal, protozoal, parasitic, and rickettsial diseases in dogs and cats. Mycobacterial disease is often subclinical in dogs and cats, but signs may be associated with granuloma formation in various organs. 39, 40 Nontuberculous mycobacterium, including those in the Mycobacterium avium complex, are saprophytic opportunistic organisms primarily implicated in disseminated disease in cats [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] and occasionally in dogs. No clear dissemination pattern has been identified because of low case numbers, but affected organs include the internal lymph nodes, liver, lungs, eyes, bone, muscles, and CNS. Infection results in disseminated disease, including protozoal hepatitis. Bacterial culture results from liver, gallbladder, or bile in 248 dogs and cats evaluated for hepatobiliary disease: 1998-2003	./cache/cord-300187-fr6tme32.txt	./txt/cord-300187-fr6tme32.txt
