Species of the genus Mycobacterium and their synonyms with their bibliography are shown. Grouping of Runyon has not been used in this paper, and the system shown in Table 1 has been adopted. This is due to the resaon that the pigment production is not always correlated with proper taxonomicr elationships. In slowly growing mycobacteria, three complexes have been set up: M. tuberculosis complex, M. avium complex, and M. nonchromogenicum comples. The fact that M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. scrofulaceum form a cluster in numerical classification was shown previously by the present author (Tsukamura, M.: J. Gen. Microbiol., 45: 253, 1966), and thereafter it was shown that M. asiaticum also enters the same group (Tsukamura, M.: Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 26: 409, 1976). Use of the term M. avium complex is simpler than the term M. aviumintracellularescrofulaceum complex, and can include M. asiaticum. The term M. fortuitum complex, which contains M. fortuitum and M. chelonei, is adequate when considered the taxonomic relationship between these two species (Tsukamura, M. et al.: Japan. J. Micro iol., 11: 243, 1967; Tsukamura, M.: Amer. Rev. Resp. Dis., 101: 426, 1970). It is also convenient and practical to set up the M. parafortuitum complex as proposed by Saito et al. (Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 27: 75, 1977), for rapidly growing, scotochromogenic mycobacteria, because there are many such mycobacteria and they are non-pathogenic.
