  abstract = {{H}uman tuberculosis caused by {M}ycobacterium microti is rare, but its prevalence and clinical significance may have been underestimated. {T}o the best of our knowledge, 21 cases have been reported in the literature in the last decade. {W}e report six recent pulmonary cases caused by {M}. microti over a period of 5 years detected in {F}rench clinical mycobacteriology laboratories of the hospital network. {O}ur data confirm the potential of {M}. microti to cause clinical illness in immunocompetent patients. {M}. microti grew slowly from specimens, delaying the final microbiological diagnosis. {T}herefore, patients with tuberculosis caused by {M}. microti could benefit from the use of rapid diagnostic molecular techniques directly on clinical samples. {F}rom a review of the literature and this study, a classical antituberculous therapy seems effective in treating patients with {M}. microti disease.},
