Co-Infection with 4 Species of Mycobacteria Identified by Using Next-Generation Sequencing.

ABSTRACT: We identified co-infection with 4 species of mycobacteria in a woman in New York, New York, USA, by using next-generation sequencing. This procedure is useful for identifying co-infections with multiple mycobacteria, tracing the geographic origin of strains, investigating transmission dynamics in susceptible populations, and gaining insight into prevention and control.
