Mycobacterium celatum is a recently described species which, on the basis of conventional tests, may be misidentified as Mycobacterium xenopi or as belonging to the Mycobacterium avium complex. Only genomic sequencing or high-performance liquid chromatography of cell wall mycolic acids can presently allow a correct identification of this mycobacterium. Two cases of infection due to M. celatum, in AIDS patients, are described here. The quantitative susceptibility pattern of the isolates to a wide spectrum of drugs is also reported.
西氏分枝杆菌是一种最近才被描述的菌种,根据传统检测方法,它可能会被误鉴定为偶发分枝杆菌或属于鸟分枝杆菌复合群。目前只有通过基因组测序或细胞壁分枝菌酸的高效液相色谱分析才能正确鉴定这种分枝杆菌。本文描述了两例艾滋病患者感染西氏分枝杆菌的病例。还报告了分离株对多种药物的定量药敏模式。
