Mycobacterium bovis BCG: the importance of an accurate identification in the diagnostic routine
M. bovis BCG is used clinically in the immunotherapy treatment of superficial bladder cancer to prevent progression to invasive disease, leading in some cases to a severe localized inflammation or disseminated infections. For this reason, an accurate and early identification of this particular micro...
