[Atypical mycobacteria isolated from ganglions of presumed-healthy bovine and swine (author's transl)].
A study has been carried out to detect the frequency of atypical mycobacteria in ganglions belonging to two types of animals: bovine and swine. A total of 250 samples (150 cows and 100 pigs) were studied. The samples were decontaminated by the lauryl-sulfate technique, using two mycobacteria culture media: Löwenstein-Jensen and Coletsos base. 14 pig ganglion strains were isolated (8 M. avium; 3 M. gordonae; 2 M. fortuitum; 1 M. chelonei) and 13 from the cow samples (5 M. avium, 3 M. Kansasii; 2 M. gordonae; 2 M. fortuitum; 1 M. phlei). The most frequently isolated mycobacteria was M. avium (48.14% of total isolated strains). This study confirms the possible importance of these animals in the epidemiology of mycobacteriosis.
