Strains were from Provincial Centers of Hygiene and Epidemiology of the country. According to the results obtained, most of the strains classified are found in groups III and IV according to the criteria of Runyon (54, 76, and 36%, respectively). Species with a greater frequency belong to the complex MAI and M. fortuitum.
