We describe a case of mild Mycobacterium shimoidei disease with a favorable course after treatment. Characteristics of nine M. shimoidei isolates in Italy between 1989 and 2009 were also reviewed. The M. shimoidei genome was highly conserved. Based on antimicrobial susceptibility, the combination of ethambutol, clarithromycin, and rifabutin appears to be a reasonable treatment.
我们描述了一例轻度的嗜沫分枝杆菌病,经治疗后病情好转。我们还回顾了 1989 年至 2009 年期间意大利 9 株嗜沫分枝杆菌分离株的特征。嗜沫分枝杆菌的基因组高度保守。基于药敏试验结果,乙胺丁醇、克拉霉素和利福布汀联合治疗似乎是一种合理的治疗方法。
