## Description[edit | edit source]

Mycobacterium celatum is a species of mycobacterium described as a slow growing nonphotochromogenic mycobacterium whose cells are acid-fast, slender and predominantly rod-shaped bacillus. It does not form cords or branches. Colonies are predominantly small, smooth, dome- shaped and unpigmented.

## Health risks[edit | edit source]

35 year-old individual with Mycobacterium celatum lung disease

Mycobacterium celatum, a slowly growing potentially pathogenic mycobacterium, was first described in humans in 1993.[2]

Mycobacterium celatum has been shown to cause fatal disease in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. Clinical symptoms include cough, malaise, and weight loss associated with cavitary lesions and pulmonary infiltrates, whereas the initial laboratory testing includes positive acid-fast stain.
