Mycobacteroides chelonae Environmental bacterium that causes wound, cornea, and skin infections Lineage: Bacteria[35995]; Actinomycetota[4656]; Actinomycetes[4248]; Mycobacteriales[705]; Mycobacteriaceae[249]; Mycobacteroides[9]; Mycobacteroides chelonae[1]

Mycobacterium. This genus comprises a number of Gram-positive, acid-fast, rod-shaped aerobic bacteria and is the only member of the family Mycobacteriaceae within the order Actinomycetales. Like other closely related Actinomycetales, such as Nocardia and Corynebacterium, mycobacteria have unusually high More...genomic DNA GC content and are capable of producing mycolic acids as major components of their cell wall.Mycobacterium chelonae. Mycobacterium chelonae, first isolated from a tortoise, is a rapid-growing Mycobacterium sp., commonly isolated from soil and water. This organism causes wound and cornea infections, and in immunosuppressed patients causes a generalized skin infection. This organism is very resistant to many commonly used antibiotics, which makes treatment difficult. Less...
