Nontuberculous mycobacteria may cause central venous catheter-associated bacteremia. Between March 2011 and October 2013, 6 cases of Mycobacterium phocaicum bacteremia were found in the pediatric hematology-oncology department. All patients recovered. No positive blood culture was documented after removal of the central venous catheter. All 4 patients with pulsed field gel electrophoresis had the same pattern, different from the water sample, suggesting a common water source.

Accurate identification of non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) species is crucial for the diagnosis and appropriate management of NTM infections. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of two assays, FluoroType Mycobacteria VER 1.0 and Maldi BioTyper (MBT) Mycobacteria.

Background: Environmental mycobacteria are involved in several infections ranging from lung to skin infections. In Côte d'Ivoire, apart from Mycobacterium ulcerans and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, little information exists on other species. The culture of these species, a real challenge, especially in developing countries like Cote d'Ivoire, limits their identification.

Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are one of the most widely used plasticizers and the well-studied environmental pollutants with endocrine disrupting properties. Investigation about PAEs in terrestrial ecosystem has been extensively conducted while the fate of PAEs in marine environment remains underexplored. In this study, a novel di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) degrading marine bacterial strain, Mycolicibacterium phocaicum RL-HY01, was isolated and characterized from intertidal sediments.
