We investigated a case of cutaneous infection in an immunocompromised patient in China that was caused by a novel species within the Mycobacterium gordonae complex. Results of whole-genome sequencing indicated that some strains considered to be M. gordonae complex are actually polyphyletic and should be designated as closely related species.
我们研究了中国一例免疫功能低下患者的皮肤感染病例,该感染是由戈登分枝杆菌复合体中的一个新型种引起的。全基因组测序结果表明,一些被认为是戈登分枝杆菌复合体的菌株实际上是多系的,应该被指定为密切相关的种。
