Abstract
A non-tuberculous mycobacterium was isolated, following a vertebral needle aspiration, from the blood of a patient with severe spondylodiscitis. The strain turned out to be different from any known mycobacterial species and was quite drug-susceptible in vitro. The patient improved markedly following treatment with meropenem, clarithromycin and amikacin.Entities:
