# Mycobacteroides immunogenum

Mycobacteroides immunogenum (formerly Mycobacterium immunogenum) is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota, belonging to the genus Mycobacteroides.

These non-tuberculous mycobacteria are sometimes found in fouling water-based cutting fluids, often causing hypersensitivity pneumonitis to the machinists in the affected grinding plants.

The complete genome sequence of Mycobacteroides immunogenum CCUG $47286^T$ was deposited and published in DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive, and GenBank in 2016 under the accession number CP011530.
