Abstract

ABSTRACT We describe the first “ Mycobacterium paraffinicum ” (unofficial taxon) pseudo-outbreak in a tertiary-care medical center. Fifteen clinical nontuberculous mycobacterium isolates from 10 patients were initially identified by biochemical tests and high-performance liquid chromatography as Mycobacterium scrofulaceum . However, further testing by molecular analysis revealed “ M. paraffinicum .” Epidemiological and environmental investigation determined that the ice machine was the source of the pseudo-outbreak.
