Atypical mycobacterial panniculitis was diagnosed in a cat. was identified as causative agent by 16 S rRNA gene sequence analysis. This a gram-positive rod-shaped acid-fast bacterium belonging to group was never reported before in diseased animals. Resistance to doxycycline and clarithromycin was detected. During treatment with pradofloxacin, additional resistance to fluoroquinolones developed which was due to a mutation in the gyrase gene (S90W exchange). Despite of antimicrobial treatment for 33 months the patient did not fully recover. Species identification and susceptibility testing for choosing adequate antimicrobial treatment is recommended in cases of feline mycobacterial panniculitis.

In cats, mycobacteriosis tends to present in a syndromic manner, with cases either being due to tuberculosis (TB) (in countries where TB is endemic), one of the "leprosy-like" diseases affecting the skin and subcutis, panniculitis caused by infection of subcutaneous tissues generally with rapidly growing Mycobacteria spp. or widely disseminated granulomatous disease, which is usually caused by members of the Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC). Disseminated MAC disease is rare, but when it occurs, usually develops in immunocompromised hosts with defective cell-mediated immunity.

Objectives: Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) may be over-diagnosed due to imprecise diagnostic criteria or overlooked where mycobacterial investigations are negative. We evaluated the distinction between multibacillary and paucibacillary forms of CTB, as well as drug resistance and cure rates according to the results of mycobacterial investigations.

Methods: We included retrospectively all patients diagnosed with CTB from 1995 to 2018 in two hospitals in Paris.

(homotypic synonym: ) represents an ungrouped thermotolerant rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) species occasionally associated with infections and disease in humans. In this report, we describe a case of pyogranulomatous dermatitis and panniculitis due to in an immunocompetent adult cat. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first report of infection in animals.

Rationale: Since its first identification in the early 1990s, Mycobacterium genavense has been considered and opportunistic pathogen. It mainly causes gastrointestinal symptoms, but also disseminated infections in severely immunosuppressed patients. Sclerosing mesenteritis is a long-term complication with high morbidity and mortality.
