Non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection has increased significantly in recent years, especially in emerging countries. We present the case of a 25-year-old male patient, immunocompetent, with cervical lymphadenopathy, identifying Mycobacterium kumamotonense, a rare species in extrapulmonary forms and with a high drug resistance index.

Herein, we report a rare case of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection caused by Mycolicibacter kumamotonensis in a 73-year-old man successfully treated with clarithromycin, rifampicin, and ethambutol. Seven cases of NTM disease caused by M. kumamotonensis have been previously described, with characteristics differing from those of more common NTM diseases.

The slow-growing, nontuberculous mycobacterium possesses two rRNA operons, and , located downstream from the and genes, respectively. Here, we report the sequence and organization of the promoter regions of these two operons. In the operon, transcription can be initiated from the two promoters, named P1 and PCL1, while in , transcription can only start from one, called P1 .

Introduction: Mycolicibacter kumamotonensis is a slowly growing, non-chromogenic non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that was initially distinguished from the M. terrae complex in 2006. Since then it has been rarely reported as the cause of pulmonary and soft-tissue infections in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients.
