Comparison of methods for the isolation of mycobacteria from water treatment plant sludge
Original language description
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous organisms in all natural ecosystems, including water environments. Several of these species are potential pathogens which affect human health. NTM most commonly cause pulmonary, skin or soft tissue infections. Primary sludge obtained from the water treatment plants of four drinking water reservoirs were subjected to analysis for mycobacteria. Five decontamination methods (5 % oxalic acid, modified Petroff, HCl-NaOH, N-acetyl-l-cysteine-sodium hydroxide and 0.05 % cetylpyridinium chloride), three growth media (Herrold's egg yolk medium with and without the antibiotic cocktail PANTA and Lowenstein-Jensen medium with sodium pyruvate) and three incubation temperatures (25, 30 and 37 A degrees C) for isolation of mycobacteria were compared in the analysis of 18 sludge samples. To evaluate examined methods, the overall positive, negative, and contamination rate, and these rates in respect to localities are taken into account. Statistical analy
