“…Although 1 study to date has detailed a report of M. senegalense causing human infection in an otherwise healthy young boy after cleaning a fish tank, this case is the first to our knowledge implicating M. senegalense as the causative agent in a PJI in an immunocompetent host 8 . More recently, M. senegalense was described in a case of chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia by Maupin et al 11 . Not only is the pathogen unique but also the method of infection of the periprosthetic space through potential ingestion is peculiar because most periprosthetic joint infections result from either direct contact with the pathogen (such as during surgery) or hematogenous spread from disseminated acute infection.…”

“…Mycobacterium senegalense, a rapid growing mycobacterium known as the principal pathogen of bovine farcy, was not believed to cause disease in any domestic or nondomestic animal apart from Zebu cattle 4-6 . It was not until 2005 that M. senegalense was first implicated as a human pathogen, with only a handful of cases published to date [7][8][9][10][11] .The patient was informed that data concerning the case would be submitted for publication, and he provided consent.…”

Case:A 69-year-old male patient, 5 years after a well-functioning total hip arthroplasty for severe osteoarthritis, presented with a 3-month history of progressive, unrelenting, “burning” pain in his right hip with accompanying fullness of the right thigh. Inflammatory markers were elevated, and imaging revealed a large unilocular fluid collection with communication to the hip joint. Aspiration was positive for Mycobacterium senegalense. A combination of surgical and antibiotic therapy successfully treated this patient.Conclusion:Mycobacterium senegalense is a rare cause of prosthetic joint infection. A combination of surgical and antimicrobial management is required for effective treatment.

“…It is known to cause bovine farcy in sub-Saharan Africa 4. It has been isolated as a human pathogen to cause CRBSI,4 musculoskeletal infection,5 skin and soft tissue infection,6 as well as surgical site infection7 and implant-associated infection 8. A reported case of infected laceration wound by shattered fish tank glass by this pathogen suggests zoonotic potential 6.…”

Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is one of the common healthcare-acquired infections imposing a high burden of morbidity and mortality on the patients. Non-tuberculous mycobacterium is a rare aetiology for CRBSI and poses challenges in laboratory diagnosis and clinical management. This is a case of a woman in her early 60s with underlying end-stage renal failure, diabetes mellitus and hypertension presented with a 2-week history of high-grade fever postregular haemodialysis, vomiting, lethargy and altered mental status.Blood cultures from a permanent catheter and peripheral taken concurrently yieldedMycobacterium senegalense, identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry, which established the diagnosis of CRBSI atypically presented with concurrent acute intracranial bleeding and cerebrovascular infarction at initial presentation. She was started on a combination of oral azithromycin, oral amikacin and intravenous imipenem, and the permanent catheter was removed. Despite the treatments instituted, she developed septicaemia, acute myocardial infarction and macrophage activation-like syndrome, causing the patient’s death.

“…An immunocompetent 3-year-old North American girl got soft tissue infection of Mycobacterium senegalense after traumatic injury [ 6 ]. A North American 55-year-old immunocompetent male developed chronic osteomyelitis of Mycobacterium senegalense after traumatic ankle fracture [ 7 ]. Some following cases of osteomyelitis related to Mycobacterium farcinogenes were reported.…”

Background Mycobacterium farcinogenes–senegalense group mostly cause bovine farcy, which rarely infect human beings. We reported one case of cutaneous Mycobacterium farcinogenes–senegalense group infection in an immunocompetent victim. Case presentation A 66-year-old Taiwanese woman with hypertension developed tender nodules on her left dorsal foot for 2 months. Tissue culture identified Mycobacterium farcinogenes–senegalense group. The lesion was treated successfully with clarithromycin and sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, followed by surgical excision. Conclusions Mycobacterium farcinogenes–senegalense group infection should be considered as a potential pathogen of skin infection in immunocompetent patients.
