Second Report of the Cooperative, Open-Ended Study of Slowly Growing Mycobacteria by the International Working Group on Mycobacterial Taxonomy Free

Abstract

The open-ended study of the International Working Group on Mycobacterial Taxonomy is an ongoing project designed to characterize slowly growing strains of mycobacteria that do not belong to well-established or thoroughly characterized species. In this second report, we describe and some members of the “MAIS intermediate” group, as well as make minor adjustments of the feature frequency data for and .
