Of a total number of 1079 drinking water and colliery service water samples examined in an area of the North-Moravian Region Czechoslovakia, characterized by endemic occurrence of M. kansasii infections, 233 [21.6%] samples were found to be contaminated by mycobacteria, of these 20 [1.9%] by M. kansasii. Of additionally examined 510 water samples from the municipal water-supply network, which were collected in hospital laboratories and clinical departments as well as in the households of patients with M. kansasii infection and their possible contacts, 171 [33.5%] samples showed presence of mycobacteria, of these 18 [3.5%] were M. kansasii-positive. This mycobacterial species was isolated from the drinking water samples collected in two hospitals in the core of the endemic area, e.i. in the district of Karviná. In the district of Ostrava, where the drinking water supply, bot for colliery and households facilities, is provided from the same water-supply system, the presence of M. kansasii in the municipal water-supply network was not proved, but it was isolated from 5 samples of colliery drinking water. Further 114 samples taken from the local water treatment plant supplying the endemic area with drinking water were found to be free of M. kansasii species.
在捷克斯洛伐克北摩拉维亚地区一个以堪萨斯分枝杆菌感染地方性发作为特征的区域，共检测了1079份饮用水和煤矿服务用水样本，其中233份[21.6%]样本被分枝杆菌污染，其中20份[1.9%]被堪萨斯分枝杆菌污染。另外检测了510份来自市政供水网络的水样，这些水样是在医院实验室、临床科室以及堪萨斯分枝杆菌感染患者及其可能接触者的家中采集的，171份[33.5%]样本显示有分枝杆菌存在，其中18份[3.5%]为堪萨斯分枝杆菌阳性。这种分枝杆菌物种是从地方性流行区中心的两家医院采集的饮用水样本中分离出来的，即在卡尔维纳区。在俄斯特拉发区，煤矿和家庭设施的饮用水供应来自同一供水系统，市政供水网络中未证实存在堪萨斯分枝杆菌，但从5份煤矿饮用水样本中分离出了该菌。另外，从为地方性流行区供应饮用水的当地水处理厂采集的114份样本中未发现堪萨斯分枝杆菌。
