Mycobacterium elephantis, a bacterium of the family Mycobacteriaceae, was discovered and isolated from a deceased elephant near India and may be linked to respiratory dysfunction.[1][2] Organisms in the genus Mycobacterium are known to be aerobic and non-motile.[3] Organisms within Mycobacterium belong to either the rapid growing group (Organismal growth under seven days) or the slow growing group.[4][5]M. elephantis is classified as a rapid grower and relates most closely to Mycobacterium confluentis and Mycobacterium phlei.[1][4]
