Abstract
A 76-year-old man with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis was found to be sputum smear positive for acid-fast bacilli. The 16S rRNA sequence identified the culture isolate as Mycobacterium intermedium, the pathogenicity of which has not been confirmed. Chemotherapy with isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol resulted in clinical improvement.Entities:
