Abstract
Different diagnostic techniques for mycobacteria were studied in sea lions, sea elephants, fur seals, dolphins, killer whales and penguins from a sea aquarium. Three strains were isolated from fur seals. Two were classified as Mycobacterium chelonae and one as Mycobacterium fortuitum complex. There was good correlation between the results given by the intradermal tuberculin test and ELISA, but the former is recommended as a screening test on the basis of its practicality. Results and methodology of the different techniques are described.
