Abstract

ABSTRACT A 76-year-old man with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis was found to be sputum smear positive for acid-fast bacilli. The 16S rRNA sequence identified the culture isolate as Mycobacterium intermedium , the pathogenicity of which has not been confirmed. Chemotherapy with isoniazid, rifampin, and ethambutol resulted in clinical improvement.
