Abstract
Mycobacterium arupenseis a novel mycobacterium species. It was first identified from clinical specimens in 2006 and since then there have been only two reports of its recovery from clinical samples. In the present case M. arupensewas isolated from the sputum of a 62-year-old man with a malignant mass in his left kidney, who presented with a one-month history of recurrent fever, dyspnea and haemoptysis. M. arupensewas identified with sequencing of hsp65and 16S rRNA genes. In the present study, its biochemical profile along with its resistance status and hsp65RFLP analysis is presented.
