摘要：
我们描述了由后天快速分枝杆菌引起的医疗保健相关性血流感染的病例。全基因组测序显示，在该单元公共淋浴水中分离出了相同菌株。非结核分枝杆菌经常污染医院水网络。需要采取预防措施来降低免疫受损患者的暴露风险。
We describe a case of healthcare-associated bloodstream infection due to Mycobacterium fortuitum. Whole-genome sequencing showed that the same strain was isolated from the shared shower water of the unit. Nontuberculous mycobacteria frequently contaminate hospital water networks. Preventative actions are needed to reduce the exposure risk for immunocompromised patients.
