“…Other sequences identified in this study were of >95% similarity to M. gordonae, M. flavescens, and M. mucogenicum. These species are all known to be inhabitants of drinking water systems and have been implicated in adverse health consequences (36,46,54,55). One interesting fast-growing Mycobacterium species that we encountered fairly frequently was M. gilvum.…”

Private residences in rural areas with water systems that are not adequately regulated, monitored, and updated could have drinking water that poses a health risk. To investigate water quality on the Crow Reservation in Montana, water and biofilm samples were collected from 57 public buildings and private residences served by either treated municipal or individual groundwater well systems. Bacteriological quality was assessed including detection of fecal coliform bacteria and heterotrophic plate count (HPC) as well as three potentially pathogenic bacterial genera, Mycobacterium, Legionella, and Helicobacter. All three target genera were detected in drinking water systems on the Crow Reservation. Species detected included the opportunistic and frank pathogens Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium gordonae, Mycobacterium flavescens, Legionella pneumophila, and Helicobacter pylori. Additionally, there was an association between HPC bacteria and the presence of Mycobacterium and Legionella but not the presence of Helicobacter. This research has shown that groundwater and municipal drinking water systems on the Crow Reservation can harbor potential bacterial pathogens.

“…Its recovery has constantly been connected to either contamination in the laboratory, but there are some case reports about M. flavescens which can cause pneumonia related to constitutional symptoms, disseminated infections, and glottal abscess. [31] Numerous evidences suggest that there is a direct relationship between the prevalence of environmental mycobacteria isolated from clinical samples in an area with an abundance of NTMs in the environment,[9] as well as the clinical manifestations of NTMs are often mixed with infections result from M. tuberculosis that is a problematic subject in diagnosis of NTM; the NTMs can cause false positive in detection by direct sputum smear microscopy. [32] Different studies conducted on clinical samples from Iran showed that the most commonly isolated NTMs are M. fortuitum and M. simiae [333435] which were comparable with our meta-analysis and confirmed that probably the source of clinical isolates was from environment and person-to-person transmission was not proved.…”

Prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria isolated from environmental samples in Iran: A meta-analysis

et al. 2016

Background:While the most nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) species are considered as opportunistic pathogens, some of them are related to several human infections. It is believed that environment is the main source for these infections. Distribution and scattering pattern of NTMs has not been well studied in Iran and a few studies about this subject have been done, so the aim of this study was to determine prevalence of NTMs in environmental samples from Iran.Materials and Methods:Data about prevalence of NTMs in environmental samples from Iran were obtained by searching databases. The studies presenting cross-sectional or cohort and the papers with sample size ≥30 were included. Then, the meta-analysis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software and Cochran's Q and I2 tests. The strategy search was based PRISMA protocol is available online (PRISMA, http://www.prisma-statement.org).Results:The results of this meta-analysis showed that overall combined prevalence of NTMs in environmental samples from Iran was 38.3%. The frequency of NTM was higher in the north of Iran (73.2%). The most prevalent rapid-growing mycobacterium was Mycobacterium fortuitum (19.8%), and the most dominant slow-growing mycobacterium was Mycobacterium flavescens (16.8%).Conclusion:In regard to increasing incidence of disease in immunocompromised patients and existence of different types of mycobacteria species in environmental samples, efforts should be focused on measures that will specifically remove NTMs from habitats where susceptible individuals are exposed.
