Mycobacteria in the environment of pig farms in the Czech Republic between 2003 and 2007

Original language description

In the Czech Republic, most mycobacterial infections in pigs are caused by the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and potentially pathogenic mycobacteria (PPM) derived from the environment. Between 2003 and 2007, a total of 1114 environmentally-derived samples from 24 farms were examined. By direct microscopy acidfast rods were found in 42 (3.8%) samples, and PPM were isolated from 223 (20.0%) samples by culture. PPM occurred in soil from the paddocks (53.8%), peat (53.2%), bedding (28.4%) and biofilm from the pipeline (21.0%). M. avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) was most frequent; M. avium subsp. avium (MAA) and M. intracellulare were isolated from one (0.4%) and three (1.3%) samples, respectively. The remaining isolates were identified as 19 other mycobacterial species. In a farm, where MAH was detected in the lymph nodes of pigs and in the environment between 1996 and 2002 (Period I), was found between 2003 and 2007 (Period II) a significant increase in the occurrence of mycobacteria.
