Retrospective molecular genetic analysis of 166 Mycobacterium intracellulare isolates showed that 143 (86%) strains could be assigned to Mycobacterium chimaera sp. nov. Of 97 patients from whom M. chimaera sp. nov. was isolated, only 3.3% exhibited mycobacterial lung disease, whereas all M. intracellulare isolates caused severe pulmonary infections.
对166株胞内分枝杆菌分离株进行的回顾性分子遗传学分析表明,143株(86%)菌株可归为新种马氏分枝杆菌。在分离出该新种马氏分枝杆菌的97例患者中,仅有3.3%表现为分枝杆菌性肺病,而所有胞内分枝杆菌分离株均引起严重肺部感染。
