The isolation of an acid-fast microorganism of the genus Mycobacterium is reported. Its most relevant characteristics are the intense red color and the initial spheric shape of colonies which furtherly evolve to a peculiar division. The biochemical products from test bacteria as niacin, nitrase, lipase, phosphatase, TCH, catalase, peroxidase and a series of 11 amides as well as the tests for susceptibility against antibacillary drugs and biological tests are described. The patterns obtained permit the characterization of this species as one non previously described. The name Mycobacterium cubense, n. sp. is suggested.
报道了一种分枝杆菌属抗酸微生物的分离情况。其最显著的特征是菌落呈深红色且初始为球形，随后会进一步演变成特殊的形态。描述了受试细菌产生的生化产物，如烟酸、硝酸酶、脂肪酶、磷酸酶、结核菌素、过氧化氢酶、过氧化物酶以及一系列11种酰胺，还描述了抗菌药物敏感性试验和生物学试验。所获得的模式允许将该物种鉴定为一个先前未描述过的物种。建议将其命名为古巴分枝杆菌，新种。
