| mycobacterium senuense sp. nov., a slowly growing, non-chromogenic species closely related to the mycobacterium terrae complex. | a previously undescribed, slowly growing, non-chromogenic mycobacterium, isolated from a korean patient with a symptomatic pulmonary infection, is described as representing a novel species. its 16s rrna gene sequence was unique and phylogenetic analysis based on 16s rrna gene sequences showed that this organism belonged to the mycobacterium terrae subclade. phenotypically, the strain was generally similar to m. terrae and mycobacterium nonchromogenicum, but its growth rate was slower than those ... | 2008 | 18319471 |
| mycobacterium algericum sp. nov., a novel rapidly growing species related to m. terrae complex and associated with goat lung lesions. | a previously undescribed, rapid growing, non-chromogenic mycobacterium novel species isolated from a goat lung lesion in algeria is reported. biochemical and molecular tools were used for its complete description and showed its affiliation to the m. terrae complex. 16s rrna, rpob and hsp65 sequences were unique. phylogenetic analyses showed close relationship with m. terrae sensu stricto and m. senuense. culture and biochemical characteristics were generally similar to m. terrae and m. senuense. ... | 2010 | 20833885 |
| survey of 150 strains belonging to the mycobacterium terrae complex and description of mycobacterium engbaekii sp. nov., mycobacterium heraklionense sp. nov. and mycobacterium longobardum sp. nov. | a thorough phenotypic and genotypic analysis of 150 strains belonging to the mycobacterium terrae complex resulted in the identification of a number of previously unreported sequevars (sqvs) within the species known to belong to the complex. for the species mycobacterium arupense, three sqvs were detected in the 16s rrna gene, six sqvs in the hsp65 gene and 15 sqvs in the rpob gene; in mycobacterium senuense two sqvs were present in each of the three genetic regions; in mycobacterium kumamotonen ... | 2013 | 22447702 |
