We report a case of NTM-PD caused by a newly identified mycobacteria, Mycolicibacterium toneyamachuris, genetically close to M. mucogenicum. This pathogenic mycobacterium showed different characteristics from M. mucogenicum about clinical presentation and drug sensitivity. The clinical application of genomic sequencing will advance the identification and classification of pathogenic NTM species, and enhance our understanding of mycobacterial diseases.
