Mycobacterium komossense

Description

Gram-positive, nonmotile, short to moderately long and acid-fast rods.

Colony characteristics

• Eugonic, smooth, glistening and yellow-beige pigmented colonies. On Middlebrook 7H10 agar 0.5-2mm in diameter with entire margins.

Physiology

• Growth on Löwenstein-Jensen media and Middlebrook 7H10 agar at temperatures between 22°C-37°C in less than 7 days.
• Optimal growth at 31°C, no growth at 45°C.

Differential characteristics

• Uniqueness of species supported by antigenic analysis (immunodiffusion) and specific lipid patterns.
• A numerical taxonomy comparison showed close relationship to Mycobacterium aichiense.

Pathogenesis

• Not known to be pathogenic in animals or humans.
• Biosafety level 1

Type Strain

• First isolated from intact sphagnum vegetation in the Komosse sphagnum bog in southern Sweden and Atlantic coastal area of Norway.
