Pulmonary infection caused by a newly identified slow growing mycobacterium: Mycobacterium meguroense
We report pulmonary disease caused by an unclassified nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) in a 73-year-old woman following umbilical cord blood transplantation. Two clinical isolates could not be identified using MALDI-TOF MS or partial sequencing of housekeeping genes. Therefore, we performed whole-genome sequencing to determine the taxonomic position of the isolates.
