The increase of environmental or opportunistic mycobacteria (EOM) infections is coincident in many cases with the decrease of tuberculosis infections and increase of human immunodeficient virus (HIV). Overall in developed countries where there is a global increase of EOM incidence and mycobacteriosis are more frequently mainly in immunodeficient patients. Eighty strains received in the National Laboratory of Reference and Research for Tuberculosis from the different Epidemiology and Hygiene Provincial Centers were studied in order to know the species interesting in Cuba since clinical point of view. The results shows mycobacterium species belonging to Group III and IV as more frequently isolated, they were Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare, Mycobacterium fortuitum, Mycobacterium chelonae y Mycobacterium malmoense This study are useful in Mycobacteriology Laboratories since it is possible to know the predominant species in the population and to establish an efficacy Surveillance particularly in ¨immunodeficient¨ patients which are the most susceptible to these infection.

Palabras clave : environmental or opportunistic mycobacterium (EOM); human immunodeficient virus (HIV); mycobacteriosis; Runyon’s classification.
