Fourteen mycobacterial strains isolated from pulmonary samples of independent patients in the state of Pará (Brazil), and three strains isolated in Italy, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Thorough genetic investigation, including whole-genome sequencing, demonstrated that the strains belong to the M. simiae complex, being most closely related to Mycobacterium interjectum. For 14 of the strains, evidence emerged supporting their inclusion in a previously unreported species of the genus Mycobacterium, for which the name Mycobacterium paraense sp. nov. is proposed (type strain, IEC26(T) = DSM 46749(T) = CCUG 66121(T)). The novel species is characterized by slow growth, unpigmented or pale yellow scotochromogenic colonies, and a HPLC mycolic acid profile different from other known mycobacteria. In different genetic regions, high sequence microheterogeneity was detected.
从巴西帕拉州独立患者的肺部样本中分离出的14株分枝杆菌菌株,以及在意大利分离出的3株菌株,采用多相方法进行了鉴定。全面的基因研究,包括全基因组测序,表明这些菌株属于猿分枝杆菌复合群,与插入分枝杆菌关系最为密切。对于其中14株菌株,有证据支持将它们归入分枝杆菌属一个以前未报道的物种,为此提出了新种名巴西分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium paraense sp. nov.)(模式菌株,IEC26(T) = DSM 46749(T) = CCUG 66121(T))。该新物种的特征为生长缓慢、无色素或浅黄色暗产色菌落,以及与其他已知分枝杆菌不同的高效液相色谱法分枝菌酸图谱。在不同的基因区域检测到了高度的序列微异质性。
