Mycobacterium immunogenum

Mycobacterium immunogenum is a species of the phylum Actinobacteria (Gram-positive bacteria with high guanine and cytosine content, one of the dominant phyla of all bacteria), belonging to the genus Mycobacterium. 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 Mycobacterium immunogenum CCUG 47286T was deposited and published in DNA Data Bank of Japan, European Nucleotide Archive and GenBank in 2016 under the accession number CP011530. Strain BH29 = MC 779 = ATCC 700505 = CCUG 47286 = CIP 106684 = DSM 45595
