Mycolicibacter arupensis (formerlyMycobacterium arupense) is a slowly growingmycobacterium first isolated from soil and human sputum samples in Spain.^[1]Etymology: arupense, pertaining to theARUP Institute for Clinical and Experimental Pathology, where the type strain was characterized.

Microscopy

• Gram-positive, nonmotile and acid-fast rods (1–3 μm × 0.5–0.7 μm), mostly strong acid-fast.

Colony characteristics

• Colonies areeugonic, rough and nonpigmented.

Physiology

• Colonies occur within 5 days at 30 °C (optimum temperature, no growth at 45 °C) onLöwenstein-Jensen medium and onMiddlebrook 7H10 agar and slowly (10–12 days) at 37 °C; no growth occurs at 42 °C.
• No growth onMacConkey agar withoutcrystal violet.
• The type strain is resistant toD-cycloserine,streptomycin,isoniazid (0.1 and 1 mg/L),rifampin, andthiacetazone and is susceptible to isoniazid (10 mg/L),kanamycin, andcapreomycin.

There are emerging reports of human pathogenesis caused byM. arupensis. Pulmonary infection and tenosynovitis have been documented.^{[citation needed]} A recent case of recurrent soft tissue abscess caused byM. arupensis has been identified.^{[citation needed]}
