Rapidly growing mycobacteria are rarely found in central nervous system infections. We describe a case of polymicrobial infection in a brain abscess including two rapidly growing Mycobacterium species, M. immunogenum and M. llatzerense. The Mycobacterium isolates were distinguishable by molecular methods, and whole-genome sequencing showed <60% pairwise nucleotide identity.
快速生长分枝杆菌很少见于中枢神经系统感染。我们描述了一例脑脓肿中的多微生物感染病例，其中包括两种快速生长的分枝杆菌，即免疫原性分枝杆菌和拉策尔分枝杆菌。通过分子方法可区分分枝杆菌分离株，全基因组测序显示成对核苷酸同一性小于60%。
