Mycobacterium sherrisii is a new species of opportunistic, slow-growing, non-tuberculous Mycobacterium closely related to Mycobacterium simiae that can currently be identified with the sequence of 16S rARN gene and the heat-shock protein 65. Few cases of patients infected by this Mycobacterium have been reported and all of them were associated with human immunodeficiency virus or other immunosuppressive conditions. Clinical management is complex, because there is not a clear correlation between the in vitro antibiotic susceptibility testing and the patient's clinical outcome.
耻垢分枝杆菌是一种新的机会致病性、生长缓慢、非结核分枝杆菌,与猿分枝杆菌密切相关,目前可通过 16S rARN 基因序列和热休克蛋白 65 进行鉴定。已报道了少数由该分枝杆菌感染的患者病例,所有病例均与人类免疫缺陷病毒或其他免疫抑制状态有关。临床管理较为复杂,因为体外抗生素药敏试验与患者的临床结局之间没有明确的相关性。
