Six mycobacterial isolates from haemodialysis water, conforming a homogeneous phylogenetic group in a previous multigenic analysis, were classified taxonomically. Physiological and biochemical characterization, as well as DNA–DNA hybridizations, demonstrated that the isolates were facultatively autotrophic, aerobic and hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria, representing a novel species in the rapid growing Mycobacterium group, for which the name Mycobacterium llatzerense sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is MG13T (=CECT 7273T=CCUG 54744T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA gene nucleotide sequences determined in this study for the novel strains are AJ746069–AJ746073 and AJ746075 and that for Mycobacterium mucogenicum CCUG 47451 is AM902750.
