TL;DR
A new species of Mycobacterium, named Mycobacterium nanjing, was discovered in a skin infection case in China.
Contribution
The discovery and genomic characterization of a novel Mycobacterium species causing cutaneous infection.
Findings
A novel Mycobacterium species was isolated from a cutaneous infection in an immunocompetent individual.
Whole-genome sequencing confirmed the isolate as a new species, proposed as Mycobacterium nanjing sp. nov.
Abstract
We report a case of a cutaneous infection in an immunocompetent person in China caused by an uncharacterized Mycobacterium strain. The patient isolate was identified as a novel species by whole-genome sequencing. We propose Mycobacterium nanjing sp. nov. as the name for this new species.
