Abstract
|
|
|
|
Mycobacterium lentiflavum has recently been described as an emerging human pathogen without regard to the immune status of the host. We herein report on M. lentiflavum isolated from a respiratory specimen of a patient. Although the organism described in this case seems to be a colonizer of a lung destroyed by tuberculosis, the current methods for species identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria have to be re-evaluated so as not to underestimate these organisms.
