Mycobacterium phlei
Mycobacterium phlei is a species of acid-fast bacteria in the genus Mycobacterium. It is characterized as one of the fast-growing mycobacteria. M. phlei has only occasionally been isolated in human infections, and patients infected with M. phlei generally respond well to anti-mycobacterial therapy. M. phlei has an unusually high GC-content of 73%.
