Mycobacterium mucogenicum ( M. mucogenicum ) belongs to the group of rapidly growing Nontuberculous mycobacteria . This microorganism is associated with a wide spectrum of infectious diseases. Due to a low detection rate or the time required for conventional culture methodology, a rapid and broad-spectrum method is necessary to identify rare pathogens.
