<unk>  is a slow-growing scotochromogenic species of Mycobacterium. It was first reported by Schwabacher in 1959, having been isolated in lesions found on a<unk> s laevis, but the possibility of human infection was not confirmed until 1965. It has low pathogenicity in humans, and where infections have been found they are closely associated with immunocompromised individuals.
