AB The newly recognized species Mycobacterium genavense causes disseminated
infections in AIDS patients, but its prevalence is difficult to assess
because of its inability to grow on standard solid media. For the same
reason, very little is known about the phenotypic traits of its
isolates. We report here the results of our studies on two such strains
isolated from AIDS patients and subcultured on a non-standard solid
medium. Besides several features conventionally explored for
mycobacterial speciation, we tested the isolates for 19 enzymatic
activities and determined their mycolic acids profiles by means of high
performance liquid chromatography. We also compare our findings with the
scanty literature data on the laboratory characteristic and
antimicrobial susceptibility of M. genavense.
