A Gram-positive, rod-shaped acid-fast bacterium was isolated from a patient with a post-traumatic chronic skin abscess associated with osteitis. Morphological analysis, 16S rRNA, hsp65, sodA and rpoB gene sequence analysis, cell-wall fatty acid and mycolic acid composition analyses and biochemical tests showed that the isolate, designated ABO-M06T, belonged to the genus Mycobacterium. Its phenotype was unique and genetic and phylogenetic findings suggest that strain ABO-M06T represents a novel species within the Mycobacterium fortuitum group. The name Mycobacterium setense sp. nov. is proposed for this novel species, with the type strain ABO-M06T (=CIP 109395T=DSM 45070T).

The GenBank/EMBL/DDBJ accession numbers for the 16S rRNA, hsp65, sodA and rpoB gene sequences of strain ABO-M06T are EF138818, EF138819, EF138820 and EF414447.

Supplementary figures showing the cell wall fatty acid analysis and phylogenetic trees are available with the online version of this paper.
