“Mycobacterium massilipolynesiensis” sp. nov., a rapidly-growing mycobacterium of medical interest related to Mycobacterium phlei

Abstract: In French Polynesia, respiratory tract clinical isolate M26, displayed unusual phenotype and contradictory phylogenetic affiliations, suggesting a hitherto unidentified rapidly-growing Mycobacterium species. The phenotype of strain M26 was further characterized and its genome sequenced. Strain M26 genome consists in a 5,732,017-bp circular chromosome with a G + C% of 67.54%, comprising 5,500 protein-coding genes and 52 RNA genes (including two copies of the 16 S rRNA gene). One region coding for a putative pro… Show more

“…org) using the model organism M. smegmatis mc 2 155 [31][32][33]. Despite the enormous number of phages identified, there is a lack of studies on their occurrence in other Mycolicibacterium species [99][100][101]. Using PHASTER, a total of 566 prophages were predicted in 229/242 Mycolicibacterium genomes (~94 %) (File S4).…”

“…Because of the potential role of this new species mycobacterium in the clinical situation of the patient could not be derived from the sole isolate here reported, antibiotic susceptibility profile here reported was performed to contribute to the phenotypic characterization of the isolate and not to guide in anyway antibiotic treatment. Interestingly, this potential new species has been found in French Polynesia where a previous investigation using the same molecular tools, yielded another new Mycobacterium species, Mycobacterium massilipolynesiensis , in the Mycobacterium simiae complex 17 . In French Polynesia also, genotyping techniques allowed the discovery of another nontuberculous Mycobacterium species and new Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages 18 .…”
