Popis: Bacteria of the genus Gordonia are rarely involved in human infections. We report here the case of a 30-year-old man from Guinea Buissau with mycetoma of the foot. 16S DNA sequencing after surgical biopsy identified Gordonia westfalica. To our knowledge, this is the first report of human infection caused by G. westfalica. Keywords: Actinomyces, Gordonia, Mycetoma, Neglected tropical disease, Spectrum analysis
