RESUMO
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to detect 2-docosanol, a secondary alcohol characteristic of Mycobacterium xenopi, in 7 of 10 analyzed drinking water samples culture positive for that species. GC-MS was also used to detect tuberculostearic acid. Both of these chemical markers were analyzed as halogenated derivatives in the negative-ion-chemical-ionization mode. The numbers of CFU of M. xenopi were lowest in the three GC-MS-negative samples. The described GC-MS method is useful for the rapid detection of M. xenopi in drinking water.
