Mycobacterium farcinogenes (M. farcinogenes) is rapidly growing mycobacterium, belonging to non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM). M. farcinogenes is an exceedingly rare causative agent of human infection. Only seven cases with M. farcinogenes infections in humans were reported. This is a case of soft tissue infection and osteomyelitis caused by M. farcinogenes after heart surgery. Microbial identification was achieved by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The clinical outcome was favorable after surgical debridement and 4-month antibiotics treatment. We also provide a comprehensive literature review on this disease.
化脓隐秘杆菌（M. farcinogenes）是一种快速生长的分枝杆菌，属于非结核分枝杆菌（NTM）。化脓隐秘杆菌是人感染的一种极为罕见的病原体。仅有 7 例人类化脓隐秘杆菌感染的报道。这是心脏手术后化脓隐秘杆菌引起的软组织感染和骨髓炎。微生物鉴定通过基质辅助激光解吸/电离飞行时间质谱（MALDI-TOF-MS）完成。经手术清创和 4 个月的抗生素治疗后，临床结果良好。我们还对该病进行了全面的文献复习。
