title: [Occurence of M. africanum in the Federal Republic of Germany (author's transl)].
abstract: In the last years mycobacteria have been isolated in the Federal Republic of Germany identical or similar to "M. africanum". The identification of the species remains uncertain, but nevertheless these mycobacteria belongs to the group of tubercle bacilli and they are different from M. Tuberculosis and from M. bovis. It seems that these mycobacteria have not been isolated yet from white patients in other European countries.
