Abstract

A slow-growing non-chromogenic mycobacterium was isolated from a patient with pulmonary disease. Phenotypically, strain 05-1390 was similar to ATCC 13950. The 16S rRNA gene sequence (1385 bp) of strain 05-1390 showed a high degree of similarity to those of the complex, namely 5351974 (100 %), ATCC 13950 (99.8 %) and DSM 44623 (99.9 %). Phylogenetic analysis based on internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) and the gene indicated that strain 05-1390 was closely related to ATCC 13950, but that it was a distinct phylogenetic entity. Of particular interest, an analysis based on the gene (701 bp) showed that it is closely related to ATCC BAA-614 (99.4 %), a scotochromogenic strain, rather than to the related strains. Unique MALDI-TOF MS profiles also supported the taxonomic status of this strain as a distinct species. These data support the conclusion that strain 05-1390 represents a novel mycobacterial species, for which the name sp. nov. is proposed; the type strain is 05-1390 ( = DSM 45126 = KCTC 19555).
