Disseminated Mycobacterium lentiflavum infection in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient

Abstract

We report the first case of Mycobacterium lentiflavum disseminated infection in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected patient. Conventional identification procedures failed to identify the mycobacterial strain, but sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene led to the species identification. Furthermore, we describe here the analysis of the 16S-23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer sequence of M. lentiflavum.

FIG. 1
Alignment of complete 16S–23S rRNA ITS sequences from isolate HL1 (HL1), M. lentiflavum ATCC 51985 (ML), M. simiae (MS; GenBank accession no. AB026694), M. triplex (MT; GenBank accession no. Y14189), and M. genavense (MG; GenBank accession no. Y14183). The lengths of the ITS sequences (in nucleotides) are indicated at the end of the sequences. The complete ITS sequence between the end of the 16S rRNA gene and the beginning of the 23S rRNA gene is shown. Dashes indicate aligment gaps, and asterisks indicate variable nucleotide positions.
