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.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
