Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee - 2/10-11/92 
Klassifizierung Der Bakterien Nach Den Im Ungang Mit Ihnen Auftretenden Gefahren. These 
organisms are as follows: 
Actinomadura madurae, Actinomadura pelletieri, Amycolata autotrophica, 
Dermatophilus congolensis, Gordona bronchialis, Gordona sputi, Nocardia asteroides, 
Nocardia brasiliensis, Nocardia otitidiscaviarum, Nocardia farcinica, Nocardia nova, 
Nocardia transvalensis, Nocardiopsis dassonvillei, Rhodococcus equi, Rhodococcus 
aichiensis, Rhodococcus chubuensis, Rhodococcus rhodochrous, Rhodococcus ruber, 
Streptomyces somaliensis. 
Alternatively, CDC established a list of organisms representing only proven pathogens 
reads as follows: 
Amycolata autotrophica, Dermatophilus congolensis, Nocardia asteroides, Nocardia 
brasiliensis, Nocardia otitidiscaviarum, Nocardia transvalensis, Rhodococcus equL 
The working group agreed that the RAC should recommend approval of the CDC list of 
proven pathogens, a list that excludes suspected pathogens and opportunistic pathogens. 
Committee motion 
Dr. Krogstad made a motion for the RAC to accept the proven pathogens of the bacterial 
order, Actinomycetales, to be added to Appendix B-I-B-l, Bacterial Agents of the NIH 
Guidelines : 
Amycolata autotrophica, Dermatophilus congolensis, Nocardia asteroides, Nocardia 
brasiliensis, Nocardia otitidiscaviarum, Nocardia transvalensis, Rhodococcus equi 
The following organisms will be deleted from Appendix B-I-B-2, Fungal Agents: 
Actinomycetes (including Nocardia species), Actinomyces species, and Arachnia 
propionica). 
Dr. Gellert seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 13 in favor, 0 opposed, 
and no abstentions. 
X. AMENDMENT TO APPENDICES B-I-C-l AND B-I-B-l IN THE NIH GUIDELINES 
REGARDING MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM
