This strain was isolated from a 2 year old Somali patient with lymphadenitis. It did not differ from Mycobacteriumtuberculosis in the biochemical tests and in its 16S rRNA sequence, but formed smooth and shiny colonies, which is highly exceptional for this species. Additionally it had shorter generation time than clinical isolates of M. tuberculosis and presented a unique, characteristic phenolic glycolipid and lipo oligosaccharide. This compound was observed in a smooth isolate of M. tuberculosis described in a farmer by the French microbiologist Georges Canetti from which the organism has been named. In 1998, Pfyffer described abdominal lymphatic TB in a 56 year old Swiss man who lived in Kenya with HIV infection. Tuberculosis caused by M. canettii appears to be an emerging disease in the Horn of Africa. A history of a stay to the region should induce the clinician to consider this organism promptly even if the clinical features of TB caused by M. canettii are not specific. The natural reservoir, host range, and mode of transmission of the organism are still unknown. http www.cdc.gov ncidod eid vol8no11 02 0017 G1.htm ToLCleanup Mycobacteria Category Acid fast bacilli Category Corynebacterineae ca Mycobacterium canetti ... more details

Pathogenic mycobacteria. Advances in Tuberculosis Research, 14, 235 287. ref ATCC 13950 Mycobacterium intracellulare is a species of Mycobacterium . Description Gram positive , nonmotile and acid fast short to long rods. Colony characteristics Usually smooth, rarely rough and nonpigmented Colony biology colonies . Ageing colonies may become yellow. Physiology Growth on L wenstein Jensen medium and Middlebrook 7H10 at 37 C after 7 or more days. Resistant to isoniazid , ethambutol , rifampin and streptomycin . Differential characteristics M. intracellulare and Mycobacterium avium form the M. avium intracellulare complex MAIC . A commercially available nucleic acid hybridization hybridisation assay AccuProbe to identify all members of the MAIC exists. Furthermore, separate AccuProbes are available to identify either M. intracellulare or M. avium . Remarkable ITS heterogeneity within different M. intracellulare isolates. Pathogenesis Most frequently encountered in pulmonary secretions from patients suffering from tuberculosis like disease and from surgical specimens from such patients. When isolated from human secretions , it is often the etiologic agent of pulmonary disease, although frequently isolated as apparent casual resident Biosafety level 2 Type strain First isolated from fatal systemic disease in a child.
