Consecutive samples of urine from a patient presenting radiological images of multicystic kidneys were microbiologically analyzed searching the possible presence of acid-alcohol resistant bacilli. The patient had already undergone complementary tests, which evidenced a kidney failure. As a result, it was isolated a slow-growth non pigmented mycobacterial strain corresponding to group III of Runyon. It was classified as Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, according to conventional and alternative bacteriological studies, such as the analysis of fractions of mycobacterial mycolic acids by thin layer chromatography technique.
