Abstract
The DNA-DNA homology percentages obtained in this study indicate that Mycobacterium smegmatis, M. phlei, M. fortuitum, M. peregrinum, M. senegalense, M. farcinogenes, M. chelonei, M. parafortuitum, M. vaccae, M. diernhoferi and M. aurum are separate species. Taxonomically there is no justification for the designation M. fortuitum complex and M. peregrinum should be revived as an independent species. The type strains of M. parafortuitum, M. vaccae, M. aurum and the nonvalid M. diernhoferi are so distinct from each other that they should not be combined.Keywords
