Isolation of Novel Mycobacterium Species from Skin Infection in an Immunocompromised Person.

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.
