Mycobacterium valentiale sp. nov. A new species of rapidly growing mycobacteria. 1978

J F Sabater, and A Amador

Five strains of rapidly growing scotochromogenic mycobacteria have been isolated from soil and sputum. This study comprises 101 biological, biochemical and morphological characteristics, as well as the behaviour against the common antituberculous drugs at several concentrations. The organisms are considered to belong to a new species of the genus Mycobacterium bacterium and are named Mycobacterium valentiae sp. nov. They have been deposited in the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md., U.S.A. as 29356 and the Czechoslovak Collection of Microorganisms in the Czechoslovak National Collection of Type Cultures, Institute of Epidemiology and Hygiene Prague, as My 220/77.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009161	Mycobacterium	A genus of gram-positive, aerobic bacteria. Most species are free-living in soil and water, but the major habitat for some is the diseased tissue of warm-blooded hosts.	Mycobacteria
D000577	Amides	Organic compounds containing the -CO-NH2 radical. Amides are derived from acids by replacement of -OH by -NH2 or from ammonia by the replacement of H by an acyl group. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)	Amide
D000596	Amino Acids	Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerized to form proteins.	Amino Acid,Acid, Amino,Acids, Amino
