The organisms dilfer distinctly from known mycobacterial species that have this capacity, Mycobacterium fortuitum, M. abscessus and M. borstelense, and from other mycobacteria. The organisms are considered to belong to a new species of the genus Mycobacterium and are named Mycobacterium obuense sp. nov., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-68-2-129
