Mycobacterium research and diagnosis

On the basis of their physiological and biochemical properties and their antigenic structures, as revealed by gel diffusion systems, Mycobacterium simiae Karasseva et al. 1965 and Mycobacterium habana Valdivia et al. 1971 are regarded as belonging to the same species. The correct name of this species, i.e., the legitimate name which has priority, is M. simiae. M. habana is thus a later subjective synonym of M. simiae.
