چکیده
A Gram-positive, rod-shaped acid-fast bacterium was isolated from a patient with a post-traumatic chronic skin abscess associated with osteitis. Morphological analysis, 16S rRNA, hsp65, sodA and rpoB gene sequence analysis, cell-wall fatty acid and mycolic acid composition analyses and biochemical tests showed that the isolate, designated ABO-M06(T), belonged to the genus Mycobacterium. Its phenotype was unique and genetic and phylogenetic findings suggest that strain ABO-M06(T) represents a novel species within the Mycobacterium fortuitum group. The name Mycobacterium setense sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species, with the type strain ABO-M06(T) (=CIP 109395(T)=DSM 45070(T)).

First isolation of Mycobacterium setense from hospital water
In recent years, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as an important cause of opportunistic nosocomial infections and pseudo-infections[1-4]. Mycobacterium setense (M. setense) is an emerging organism of the Mycobacterium fortuitum (M. fortuitum) group that was added to the growing list of rapidly growing mycobacteria isolated from humans in 2008. It was firstly isolated and characte...

M. setense is an emerging organism of the M. fortuitum group that must be added to the growing list of rapidly growing mycobacteria isolated from humans. The initial gram-positive rod appearance of M. setense may delay its accurate identifi cation. Determination of antimicrobial drug susceptibility needs to be conducted by the reference broth dilution method. Further reports are warranted to ch...

We studied the taxonomic positions of the rapidly growing organism Mycobacterium fortuitum and phenotypically related organisms. We confirmed that “Mycobacterium peregrinum” ATCC 14467T (T = type strain) is genetically independent of M. fortuitum ATCC 6841T by using various DNA hybridization conditions. Strains that were genetically identified as “M. peregrinum” were phenotypically differentiat...

Mycobacterium fortuitum group (M. fortuitum), also known as rapidly growing Mycobacteria, can cause pyogenic infections in human beings, most commonly in immunocompromised patients. Herein, we present a 40-year-old immunocompetent male patient who underwent planned excision of a sebaceous cyst in the abdominal wall. He suffered from tender erythematous lesions with purulent discharge around the...

Cutaneous infection with rapidly growing mycobacteria is uncommon and its diagnosis can be missed unless there is strong clinical suspicion coupled with microbiological confirmation. We report a case of localized recurrent soft tissue swelling of the foot by Mycobacterium fortuitum in a healthy adult male. The case is being reported for its uncommon clinical presentation and the associated etio...
