Bacteriologic investigations of unusual mycobacteria isolated from immunocompromised patients.

Abstract

Mycobacterial isolates from blood and other extrapulmonary sites of six patients with AIDS were investigated because the isolates grew only in liquid media and failed to grow on solid culture media even on subculturing. Our investigations indicated that these mycobacteria possess common, but unusual, characteristics and probably belong to an unrecognized species recently reported as "Mycobacterium genavense."
