AI Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on a skin infection in an immunocompromised patient in China caused by a new type of bacteria from the Mycobacterium gordonae complex.
- - Whole-genome sequencing revealed that some strains previously identified as M. gordonae are actually distinct species, meaning they have different evolutionary histories.
- - The findings suggest the need for reclassification of these strains to better reflect their relationships and differences.
Article Abstract
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.
