  • Title: Identification of an emerging pathogen, Mycobacterium massiliense, by rpoB sequencing of clinical isolates collected in the United States.
    Author: Simmon KE, Pounder JI, Greene JN, Walsh F, Anderson CM, Cohen S, Petti CA.
    Journal: J Clin Microbiol; 2007 Jun; 45(6):1978-80. PubMed ID: 17409204.
    Abstract:
    Mycobacterium massiliense is a rapidly growing mycobacterium that is indistinguishable from Mycobacterium chelonae/M. abscessus by partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We sequenced rpoB, sodA, and hsp65 genes from isolates previously identified as being M. chelonae/M. abscessus and identified M. massiliense from isolates from two patients with invasive disease representing the first reported cases in the United States.
