Abstract
Mycobacterium genavense species-specific DNA was detected in intestina l tissues from two of nine individuals not infected with human immunod eficiency virus. This newly described microorganism is well documented as a causative agent of disseminated infections in AIDS patients. Our results suggest that it may colonize the guts of individuals not infe cted with human immunodeficiency virus.
