[Detection of pathogenic mycobacteria in the environment of the medical units and of the slaughter-house of an African town (author's transl)].
The authors have made investigations about the presence of pathogen mycobacteria in puddles of rain water and in rill waters of sanitary formations and municipal slaughter-house of Yaoundé. 19 strains of pathogen mycobacteria have been isolated from 84 water samples : 15 M. tuberculosis strains, especially present in the environment of sanitary formations, 4 M. bovis strains, especially present in the environment of the slaughterhouse. The third part of isolated M. tuberculosis strains belongs to the africanum variety of this species, although this variety is prevalent in the human pathologic products. 13 from 19 strains are I.N.H. susceptible.
