Abstract
- Mycobacterium mucogenicum, a mucoid, nonpigmented rapidly-growing mycobacteria has been recently characterized and rarely seen in human infection. M. mucogenicum does produce clinical disease, mainly posttraumatic wounds and catheter-related sepsis. We report a case of M. mucogenicum bacteremia identified by high performance liquid chromatography in a patient with pneumonia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
