On two farms in North Georgia a large percentage of the swine was infected with organisms of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare-scrofulaceum complex. The hypothesis that the cattle on these farms, which are maintained separately from the swine, would not be sensitive to avian purified protein derivative was rejected. It was concluded that the source of the M. avium-intracellulare-scrofulaceum complex of each animal population is environmental.
在北佐治亚州的两个农场里,很大比例的猪感染了鸟分枝杆菌-胞内分枝杆菌-瘰疬分枝杆菌复合群的微生物。关于这些农场中与猪分开饲养的牛对禽纯化蛋白衍生物不敏感的假设被推翻。得出的结论是,每个动物群体的鸟分枝杆菌-胞内分枝杆菌-瘰疬分枝杆菌复合群的来源是环境。
