We report a case of Mycobacterium monacense (M. monacense) isolated from sputum of a female patient for the first time in India. The chest radiograph and symptoms were suggestive of pulmonary tuberculosis. M. monacense was isolated from the sputum specimen at the end of 11 days of incubation. The identification was confirmed by conventional biochemical tests and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) -based Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) and DNA sequencing targeting Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region and hsp65 gene. The patient was treated with conventional anti-tuberculous drugs.
我们首次在印度报道了一例从一名女性患者痰液中分离出蒙氏分枝杆菌的病例。胸部X光片和症状提示为肺结核。在培养11天后从痰液标本中分离出蒙氏分枝杆菌。通过传统生化试验以及基于聚合酶链反应(PCR)的限制性片段长度多态性分析(RFLP)和针对内转录间隔区(ITS)和hsp65基因的DNA测序来确认鉴定结果。该患者接受了传统抗结核药物治疗。
