Abstract

Sixteen isolates of Nontubercular Mycobacteria species were isolated from drinking water supply of some educational institutes in Jabalpur during July 2006 and were identified by biochemical test, thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis and PRA ( PCR restriction enzyme analysis) of rpoB gene. Out of 21 water samples total 16 isolates of nontuberculous mycobacteria were identified, as M. terrae (6), M. szulgai (4), M. gordonae (3), and one each as M. malmoense, M. kansasii, and M. gastri.
