Mycobacterium fallax

Description

Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods (0.5 – 1µm long) except for a small number (less than 20%) of cyanophil forms.

Colony characteristics

  • Large, eugonic, buff coloured and rough colonies (Löwenstein-Jensen medium at 30°C).
  • Cauliflower-like morphology, resembling M. tuberculosis colonies. Cord formation at the edges of colonies (Middlebrook 7H10 agar at 30°C).

Physiology

Differential characteristics

  • Similarities to M. tuberculosis include colony morphology, thermolabile catalase, positive nitrate reductase; differences are negative reactions for niacin production and rapid growth at 30°C.

Pathogenesis

Type Strain

  • Isolated from environmental sources in France and the former Czechoslovakia. Strain ATCC 35219 = CCUG 37584 = CIP 81.39 = DSM 44179 = JCM 6405.
