Abstract
In this study, we describe a novel rapid-growing Mycobacterium species isolated from a clinical specimen obtained from the lower respiratory tract of a patient with ciliary dysfunction, bronchiectasis and exacerbated respiratory symptoms. A comprehensive phenotypic characterization was conducted, including the establishment of a MALDI-TOF MS profile. Additionally, whole-genome sequencing was performed to assess overall genomic relatedness indices and conduct phylogenetic comparative analyses. These findings allowed us to characterize a previously unrecognized rapid-growing Mycobacterium species, for which we propose the name Mycobacterium servetii (=DSM 118141; =CECT 31091).
期刊介绍:
Published by the Microbiology Society and owned by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes (ICSP), a committee of the Bacteriology and Applied Microbiology Division of the International Union of Microbiological Societies, International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology is the leading forum for the publication of novel microbial taxa and the ICSP’s official journal of record for prokaryotic names.
The journal welcomes high-quality research on all aspects of microbial evolution, phylogenetics and systematics, encouraging submissions on all prokaryotes, yeasts, microfungi, protozoa and microalgae across the full breadth of systematics including:
Identification, characterisation and culture preservation
Microbial evolution and biodiversity
Molecular environmental work with strong taxonomic or evolutionary content
Nomenclature
Taxonomy and phylogenetics.
