title: [Detection and typing of non-tubercular mycobacteria in urban waste waters of Bergamo].
abstract: Non tubercular Mycobacteria (MOTT) have been isolated in surface water of the Morla river passing through the town of Bergamo (Northern Italy). The study has been performed in four different places variously located. On 120 samples MOTT have been isolated in 24.16%. The speciation differentiated Myc. phlei on 44.82% of cases, Myc, smegmatis 24.13%, Myc. fortuitum 17.24%, Myc, chelonei complex 10.34%, Myc. vaccae 3.44%. The strains have been isolated with high frequency in sites located in the northern, desert part of the town, where are stables and pastures.
