Osteomyelitis is a rare clinical manifestation of infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). We report an adolescent with femoral osteomyelitis associated with prosthetic material due to an emerging pathogen, Mycobacterium goodii. Application of secA1 and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing reliably determined the NTM species, enabling targeted antimicrobial therapy.
骨髓炎是感染非结核分枝杆菌(NTM)的罕见临床表现。我们报告了一例青少年股骨骨髓炎,与新兴病原体戈登分枝杆菌有关,且与假体材料相关。应用 secA1 和 16S 核糖体 RNA 基因测序可靠地确定了 NTM 物种,从而实现了靶向抗菌治疗。
