We report the first case of pulmonary disease caused by a strain of Mycobacterium avium complex of presumed veterinary origin in an elderly patient. All serial isolates were identified by multilocus sequence analysis based on rpoB, hsp65, and 16S rRNA fragments. Disease persisted despite macrolide-based combination antibiotic therapy.
我们报告了首例由疑似兽医来源的鸟分枝杆菌复合体菌株引起的老年患者肺部疾病。所有连续分离株均通过基于 rpoB、hsp65 和 16S rRNA 片段的多位点序列分析进行鉴定。尽管采用大环内酯类联合抗生素治疗,但疾病仍持续存在。
