Since Runyon's (1, 2) separation of these "unclassified" or "atypical" mycobacteria into four groups, it has become clear that most overt human disease produced by these microorganisms has been caused by strains belonging to Group I (photochromogens or Mycobacterium kansaii) and Group III (Battey bacilli or nonphotochromogens) (2-6).Group III, Battey type mycobacteria, have been recognized as causing pulmonary disease for at least 12 years (7, 8), and infection with these microorganisms is common in individuals residing in...References1.
