A 66-year female presented to the outpatient department (Medicine) of a tertiary care hospital with history of a recurrent sinus with multiple openings after a laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery one and half years back. The excised tissue from sinus was sent for histopathology showed multiple non-caseating granulomas and was cultured for Mycobacterium. The growth from culture was identified as Mycobacterium mageritense by Line probe assay (LPA). The wound healed after ofloxacin and doxycycline was given for a period of two months. This case focuses the importance of proper diagnosis and treatment of chronic surgical infections keeping in mind the NTM.

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.

The Esx-1 family proteins of the Type VII secretion systems of and have been assessed and are frequently used as candidates for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis in both humans and animals. The presence of ESAT-6 and CFP 10 proteins, which are the most immunogenic proteins of the Esx-1 system and have been widely investigated for the immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis, in some and in , poses limitations for their use in specific diagnoses of TB. As such, to improve the specificity of the ESAT-6/CFP 10-based cell-mediated immunity (CMI) assays, other proteins encoded by genes within and outside the RD 1 region of the esx-1 locus have been evaluated as candidate antigens for CMI, as well as to investigate humoral responses in combination with ESAT-6 and or CFP 10, with varying specificity and sensitivity results.

We herein report an unusual case of pacemaker infection at generator site in a 62-year old female with no pertinent past medical history. Pacemaker-related infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria are rare but can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. is rarely reported in pacemaker infections and is challenging to treat due to resistance to many antimicrobial agents.
