An unusual, slow growing, pink-pigmented gram-negative bacillus was isolated from bronchoscopy specimens of seven patients over a three-month period. The organism was identified as Methylobacter mesophilica. None of the patients were believed to be infected with Methylobacter mesophilica. The results of environmental cultures showed that the organism was present in tap water from the bronchoscopy room.
在三个月的时间里，从7名患者的支气管镜检查标本中分离出一种不寻常的、生长缓慢的、产粉红色色素的革兰氏阴性杆菌。该菌株被鉴定为嗜中温甲基杆菌。据信所有患者均未感染嗜中温甲基杆菌。环境培养结果显示，该菌株存在于支气管镜检查室的自来水中。
