Distribution of Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria in Environmental Samples from a Slaughterhouse and in Raw and Processed Meats

Original language description

The prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in meat and meat products is difficult to establish due to the present legislative regulations. The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of NTM in environmental samples from a pig slaughterhouse and from raw and processed meat samples collected from supermarkets and butchers. In total, there were 112 samples from the environment of a pig slaughterhouse, 86 raw meat samples and 52 samples of processed meat (salami and sausages). Three species of mycobacteria (M. chelonae, M. kansasii and M. intermedium) were detected in 8.0% of environmental samples from a pig slaughterhouse and in 9.3% of raw and 7.7% of processed meat. Considering their zoonotic potential, the isolation of NTM species from these samples is a disturbing finding and means that raw meat may be a potential pathway for the transmission of NTM infections to humans.
