Abstrakt: 40 strains of the Mycobacterium genus corresponding to 12 species, which were subjected to 62 microbiological and biochemical tests, were studied. Each one was considered as a character. As a result of the similitude coefficient and their grouping, 9 phenomes represented by: Phenome I (Mycobacterium fortuitum), Phenome II (MAI Complex), Phenome III (Mycobacterium phlei), Phenome IV (Mycobacterium triviale), Phenome V (Mycobacterium smegmatis), Phenome VI (Mycobacterium gordonae), Phenome VII (Mycobacterium szulgai), Phenome VIII (MAI Complex), and Phenome IX (Mycobacterium scrofulaceum), were obtained. The strain identification work was consistent with grouping from the phenotypic point of view.
