| Abstract |
A slowly growing mycobacteria, identified as strain TY59T, was isolated from sputum of an elderly man with pneumonia. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene indicated that this strain was similar to members of the Mycobacterium avium complex and closely related species. Strain TY59T has highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities to the type strains of Mycobacterium colombiense (99.80 % sequence similarity), Mycobacterium vulneris (99.74 %), Mycobacterium timonense (99.54 %), Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium (99.54 %) and Mycobacterium avium subsp. silvaticum (99.54 %). Analysis of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and DNA-directed RNA polymerase subunit beta (rpoB) sequences gave similar results to the 16S rRNA gene analysis. The closest species to strain TY59T were M. colombiense and M. vulneris with 97.90-98.25 % identity in ITS and 96.4-96.6 % in rpoB. The strain's 65 kDa heat shock protein (hsp65) gene was different from those of M. vulneris, M. colombiense and M. avium subsp. silvaticum with 72.4-74.2 % identity. Average nucleotide identity results showed a 93.4 % match to M. vulneris as the maximum value. Phenotypically, the non-chromogenicity, rough colonies, growth at 42 °C, negative results for nitrate reduction, β-glucosidase and Tween 80 hydrolysis, and positive results for catalase activity set this strain apart from closely related species. We propose that Mycobacterium senriense sp. nov. is a novel species of slowly growing mycobacteria. The type strain is TY59T (RIMD 1371001T=CIP 111917T).
