Mycobacteria isolated from water sources in the Dairy Basin of Uruguay

Samples of water were colected from 31 dairy farms to know mycobacterias contamination. The samples were from drains, drinkables, cutwaters, dells, outlet of milk-pails. 7 strain of mycobacterias were isolated: two were Mycobacterium bovis, three were M. vaccae and two more not cromogenics (M. gastri and terrae-triviale complex). These isolations show the presence of M. bovis in the water of one dairy farm. A bigger sample must be taken to know the dispersion of the water contamination by M. bovis in dairy farms.
