A total of 308 raw milk samples, 209 from an organized farm and 99 from a market source, were examined for the presence of mycobacteria. Mycobacteria were recovered from 4.3% of the farm samples and from 5.1% of the market samples. The isolated cultures identified on the basis of morphological and physiological characteristics and virulence included Mycobacterium tuberculosis (bovine and human strains), M. phlei , M. kansasii , M. fortuitum , M. aquae and M. intracellulare . The significance of presence of even a few virulent strains of mycobacteria in raw milk is discussed.
总共对308份生乳样本进行了分枝杆菌检测，其中209份来自规模化养殖场，99份来自市场。在养殖场样本中，4.3%检测出分枝杆菌；在市场样本中，5.1%检测出分枝杆菌。根据形态学、生理学特征及毒力鉴定，分离培养出的菌株包括结核分枝杆菌（牛型和人型菌株）、草分枝杆菌、堪萨斯分枝杆菌、偶然分枝杆菌、水分枝杆菌和胞内分枝杆菌。本文讨论了生乳中即使存在少量有毒力的分枝杆菌菌株的意义。
