Infection due to Mycobacterium thermoresistibile: a case associated with an orthopedic device
J Clin Microbiol.
2013 Sep.
Abstract
Mycobacterium thermoresistibile is a rapidly growing environmental nontuberculous mycobacterium, seldom reported in human infections. Here, we describe a rare case of tibial-nail-related osteomyelitis due to Mycobacterium thermoresistibile. We also review the literature about the infections caused by this pathogen.
