  • Title: Postulated sources of Mycobacterium intracellulare and Mycobacterium scrofulaceum infection: isolation of mycobacteria from estuaries and ocean waters.
    Author: Gruft H, Loder A, Osterhout M, Parker BD, Falkinham JO.
    Journal: Am Rev Respir Dis; 1979 Dec; 120(6):1385-8. PubMed ID: 517862.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacteria biochemically and serologically similar to those isolated from humans have been found in estuaries and ocean waters in the south-eastern United States. This is consistent with the hypothesis that aerosols from these waters are one potential source of infection with these mycobacteria.
