Abstract

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.
