Abstract
We explored in detail the nationwide existence of Mycobacterium riyadhense in Saudi Arabia. In 18 months, 12 new cases of M. riyadhense infection were observed, predominantly among Saudi nationals, as a cause of pulmonary disease. M. riyadhense may be emerging as a more common pathogen in Saudi Arabia.
Keywords: Mycobacterium riyadhense; Saudi Arabia; bacteria; nontuberculous mycobacteria; tuberculosis.
