A Cutaneous Infection With Mycobacterium fortuitum

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1994
We report the case of a 24-year-old man with a cutaneous Mycobacterium fortuitum infection. The investigation and management of this patient are discussed, and literature pertaining to this organism is reviewed. The importance of considering mycobacteria in the pathogenesis of chronic cutaneous disease is stressed.

In Vitro Susceptibility of Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonei to Amikacin

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1978
Infections due to Runyon group IV atypical mycobacteria, Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonei, in humans have been difficult to treat in the past because of the organisms' resistance to all of the conventional antimycobacterial drugs.

Mycobacterium fortuitum Infection of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Southern Medical Journal, 1999
Mycobacterium fortuitum is one of the rapidly growing mycobacteria found in soil, dust, and water. It can be isolated as a normal colonizing organism, but as a pathogen this organism causes mainly skin and soft tissue infection preceded by trauma. A wide variety of infections can occur in individuals with predisposing conditions. Central nervous system

Characterization of the specific antigenicity of Mycobacterium fortuitum

Biochemistry, 1992
Mycobacterium fortuitum, biovar, fortuitum, the cause of serious skin and soft-tissue infections, can be differentiated from M. fortuitum, biovar. peregrinum, and other rapidly growing opportunistic mycobacteria by the presence of a unique antigenic glycolipid.

Numerical Taxonomy of Mycobacterium fortuitum

Japanese Journal of Microbiology, 1967
ABSTRACTForty‐nine strains of Mycobacterium fortuitum, three strains named M. runyonii and three rapid‐growers from sputa of patients with pulmonary disease were subjected to numerical classification based upon 101 characters. Fifty strains formed a large cluster and were considered to belong to M. fortuitum.

Pacemaker infection due to Mycobacterium fortuitum

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005
Pacemaker infection with Mycobacterium fortuitum has not been reported previously. We describe a case of pacemaker generator pocket infection and intravascular lead endocarditis due to Mycobacterium fortuitum. The entire pacing system was removed and the patient was treated successfully with a multidrug regimen for a total of 6 months.
