| mycobacterium conspicuum sp. nov., a new species isolated from patients with disseminated infections. | a new type of slowly growing, nonphotochromogenic mycobacterium was recovered from two patients with disseminated disease. the growth characteristics, acid fastness, acids were consistent with those for mycobacterium species. the results of biochemical investigations, lipid analyses, and comparative 16s rrna sequencing showed that these isolates represent a new slowly growing mycobacterium species which is named mycobacterium conspicuum. | 1995 | 8576323 |
| gas-chromatographic lipid profiles in identification of currently known slowly growing environmental mycobacteria. | cellular fatty acid analysis by glc is widely used in the species identification of mycobacteria. combining mycolic acid cleavage products with shorter cellular fatty acids increases the informative value of the analysis. a key has been created to aid in the identification of all currently known slowly growing environmental species. in this scheme, the species are classified into six categories, each characterized by a combination of fatty markers shared by those species. within each category, i ... | 2003 | 12676870 |
