Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are acid-fast bacilli (AFB) other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae, and are divided into rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) and slowly growing mycobacteria (SGM) based on their growth rate. They cause a wide range of infections, including cutaneous infections in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. 1 Pulmonary NTM infections, the most frequent form of NTM infections, are increasing globally, 2 and cutaneous NTM infections have also increased nearly three-fold in 30 years since 1980 in Olmsted County, Minnesota. 3 There is also a report suggesting that the incidence of

“… Mycobacterium shigaense was reported by Nakanaga et al in 2012 as a causative agent of skin lesions in an immune-suppressed patient ( 1 ). After that, a total of six patients were diagnosed and another three cases have already been reported, and we recently summarized the characteristics of M. shigaense ( 2 – 5 ). Notably, among four out of six patients (66.7%), the place they live is the Shiga prefecture, for which this strain is named.…”

“…Recently, we completed genome sequencing of M. shigaense and proposed this pathogen to be a new mycobacterial genus [2,3]. Eight patients with M. shigaense infections have been reported, most of them had skin and/or disseminated diseases associated with cellular immunodeficiency [1,2,[4], [5], [6]]. In contrast, we encountered a patient with a chronic pulmonary infection that was similar to Mycobacterium avium complex.…”
