A case of female patient was reported, who was excreting frequently “Mycobacterium”rhodochrous-like organisms in her sputum specimens. The organisms was demonstrated in all the examinations made three times monthly for one year. The clinical course of the patient is shown in Fig.1. The charact e r s of this organism are shown in Table 1, which resembled very much to those of “Mycobacterium” rhodochrous ATCC 13808 (Table 2). As to the distinguishing characters useful for differentia tion between rapidly growing mycobacteria and nocardias shown in Table 2, this organism differed significantly from Mycobacterium (5 differences) and from Nocardia (4 differences), It resembled to “M.” rhodochrous, differing in only one of the distinguishing characters, and was considered to be an intermediate between Mycobacterium and Nocardia. The organism is only we a kly acid-fast and not so completely acid-fast as mycobacteria, and, by this characteristic, it is differentiated from the genus Mycobacterium, for which the “complete” acid -fastness is a key character. The organism lacks mycelium. By this, it is differentiated from the genus Nocardia, for which the mycelium formation is a key character. No appropriate position was found in the genera described in the Skermans Guide to the Identification of the Genera of Bacteria. Considering the difference both from Mycobacterium and Nocardia, it was suggested that this organism together with “M.”rhodochrous may belong to a new genus, Gordona. The name Gordona bronchialis has been proposed for this organism.
