Summary

The paper concerns the epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) members except for M. tuberculosis in the Czech Republic in 2000 to 2016. M. bovis was confirmed in 18 patients. M. caprae was diagnosed in two patients in 2001 and 2016 and M. microti in one patient in 2007. M. africanum was detected in one HIV infected woman from Nigeria in 2011. As regards animals, M. pinnipedii was isolated in 2009 from one Southern sea lion (Otaria flavescens) imported from Germany. In 2002, M. caprae was isolated from two Bactrian camels (Camelus ferus) kept in a zoological garden. M. tuberculosis was isolated from one dog in 2004 and from two domestic pigs in 2007. In both cases, the source of M. tuberculosis was an infected patient. Upon examination of 3 727 environmental samples of water and sediments, none of the MTBC members was detected in the stu-died period. Infected persons coming from M. africanum endemic countries (especially West African countries) and infected animals can be considered as the current risk factors for transmission of MTBC species. If the epidemiological situation remains as it is now, there is no risk of transmission of MTBC species via milk or unpasteurised dairy products.
