This is the first report of infection caused by "Mycobacterium lacticola," a rapidly growing, scotochromogenic mycobacterium that was isolated from the blood of an immunosuppressed child. The organism was identified by sequence analysis of >1,400 bp of the 16S rRNA gene. The clinical relevance of this isolate, coupled with its unique 16S rRNA gene sequence, should prompt further investigation to establish this organism as a valid mycobacterial species.
这是关于“乳酸分枝杆菌”感染的首例报告,该菌是一种快速生长的暗产色分枝杆菌,从一名免疫抑制儿童的血液中分离得到。通过对16S rRNA基因超过1400 bp的序列分析鉴定出该菌株。该分离株的临床相关性及其独特的16S rRNA基因序列,应促使进一步研究以确定该菌株是否为有效的分枝杆菌菌种。
