Mycobacterium massiliense, an emerging pathogen that is increasingly reported as a causative agent in infections occurring during medical procedures, is difficult to be identified using conventional methods. Here we report the case of a cutaneous M. massiliense infection that was associated with repeated surgical procedures and that was identified via a comparative sequence analysis of rpoB and hsp65. The patient showed a substantial response to treatment with a combination of antimicrobial therapies consisting of clarithromycin, amikacin, and cefoxitin for 6 months.
马西利亚分枝杆菌是一种新出现的病原体,越来越多地被报道为医疗程序中发生感染的病原体,使用传统方法很难鉴定。在此,我们报告一例与反复手术相关的皮肤马西利亚分枝杆菌感染病例,该病例通过对rpoB和hsp65进行比较序列分析得以确诊。患者接受了由克拉霉素、阿米卡星和头孢西丁组成的抗菌联合治疗6个月,治疗反应良好。
