最近的临床经验增加了偶发分枝杆菌和龟分枝杆菌的医院病原体不断扩大的名单。80年前，这些快速生长的分枝杆菌首次从青蛙中分离出来（M。forturists）和海龟（M. chelonei）。早在1904年，它们偶尔从人类来源获得，通常被认为是人类的寄生虫。chelonei说，他引进了“海龟疫苗”，作为预防和治疗结核病的一种手段。当代医学文献坚定地将这些生物体确定为在医院感染中特别重要的人类病原体。
Recent clinical experience has added Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonei to the expanding list of nosocomial pathogens. These rapidly growing mycobacteria were first isolated 80 years ago from frogs (M. fortuitum) and sea turtles (M. chelonei). Obtained occasionally from human sources as early as 1904, they were generally regarded as commensals in man. Friedmann was so convinced of the non-pathogenicity of M. chelonei that he introduced the “turtle vaccine” as a means of preventing and treating tuberculosis. Contemporary medical literature firmly establishes these organisms as human pathogens with particular importance in nosocomial infections.
