Four strains isolated in Iran from pulmonary specimens of unrelated patients are proposed as representative of a novel Mycobacterium species. Similarity, at the phenotypic level, with Mycobacterium kansasii is remarkable with the photochromogenic yellow pigmentation of the colonies being the salient feature. They differ, however, genotypically from this species and present unique sequences in 16S rRNA, hsp65 and rpoB genes. The average nucleotide identity and the genome-to-genome distance fully support the status of an independent species. The name proposed for this species is Mycobacterium persicum sp. nov. with AFPC-000227T (=DSM 104278T=CIP 111197T) as the type strain.
从伊朗互不相关患者的肺部标本中分离出的四株菌株被提议作为一种新型分枝杆菌的代表。在表型水平上,与堪萨斯分枝杆菌的相似性显著,菌落的光致变色黄色色素沉着是显著特征。然而,它们在基因型上与该物种不同,在16S rRNA、hsp65和rpoB基因中呈现独特序列。平均核苷酸同一性和全基因组距离充分支持其独立物种的地位。该物种提议的名称为波斯分枝杆菌(Mycobacterium persicum sp. nov.),以AFPC-000227T(=DSM 104278T=CIP 111197T)作为模式菌株。
