Mycobacterium celatum is a species of the phylum Actinomycetota (Gram-positive bacteria with high guanine and cytosine content, one of the dominant phyla of all bacteria), belonging to the genus Mycobacterium . [1]

Contents

Type strain: strain ATCC 51131 = CCUG 39185 = CDC 90-0899 = CIP 106109 = DSM 44243 = JCM 12373.

Characteristics

Mycobacterium celatum is a species of mycobacterium described as a slow growing nonphotochromogenic mycobacterium whose cells are acid-fast, slender and predominantly rod-shaped bacillus. It does not form cords or branches. Colonies are predominantly small, smooth, dome- shaped and unpigmented.

Health risks

Mycobacterium celatum, a slowly growing potentially pathogenic mycobacterium, was first described in humans in 1993. [2] Mycobacterium celatum has been shown to cause fatal disease in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Clinical symptoms include cough, malaise, and weight loss associated with cavitary lesions and pulmonary infiltrates, whereas the initial laboratory testing includes positive acid-fast stain.

The Coriobacteriia are a class of Gram-positive bacteria within the Actinomycetota phylum. Species within this group are nonsporulating, strict or facultative anaerobes that are capable of thriving in a diverse set of ecological niches. Gordonibacter species are the only members capable of motility by means of flagella within the class. Several species within the Coriobacteriia class have been implicated with human diseases that range in severity. Atopobium, Olsenella, and Cryptobacterium species have responsible for human oral infections including periodontitis, halitosis, and other endodontic infections. Eggerthella species have been associated with severe blood bacteraemia and ulcerative colitis.

Mycolicibacterium aichiense is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota that was first isolated from soil and from human sputum. It produces pigments when grow in the dark and grows rapidly at 25–37 °C on Ogawa egg medium or Sauton agar medium.
