(Redirected from Mycobacterium arupense)

Mycolicibacter arupensis (formerly Mycobacterium arupense) is a slowly growing mycobacterium first isolated from soil and human sputum samples in Spain.[1] Etymology: arupense, pertaining to the ARUP Institute for Clinical and Experimental Pathology, where the type strain was characterized.

Description

edit

  • Colonies are eugonic, rough and nonpigmented.

Physiology

Pathogenesis

edit

There are emerging reports of human pathogenesis caused by M. arupensis. Pulmonary infection and tenosynovitis have been documented.[citation needed] A recent case of recurrent soft tissue abscess caused by M. arupensis has been identified.[citation needed]
