“…A combination therapy using amikacin, cefoxitin, and doxycycline for 6 months was reportedly effective in treating M. massiliense skin infection, [ 11 ] while another study reported that a single therapy using clarithromycin for 6 months was effective in treating a M. massiliense skin infection resistant to fluoroquinolone. [ 12 ] Therefore, it is considered reasonable to select antibiotics after antibiotics sensitivity testing.…”

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) comprise mycobacteria, with the exceptions of Mycobacterium (M.) leprae and the M. tuberculosis complex. Septic arthritis caused by NTM is so rare that there is no standardized treatment. Between April and September 2012, 27 patients were infected with M. massiliense in a single clinic following injection of steroid in the knee joint. Clinical data of 9 patients who received arthroscopic treatment in Seoul Hospital of Soonchunhyang University were analyzed retrospectively. Arthroscopic irrigation and debridement were performed average 2.6 times (1–3 times). As 6 out of 9 cases (67%) had joint contracture of the knee joint, arthroscopic adhesiolysis, and brisement were performed. After surgical procedures, Hospital for Special Surgery and Lysholm knee score showed improvement compared before the surgery, but a radiographic result evaluated by Kellgren-Lawrence revealed that 6 cases got deteriorated to stage 4 in the 4-year follow-up. NTM septic arthritis had a higher recurrence and a higher contracture incidence than septic arthritis caused by tuberculous mycobacteria or other bacteria. Treatment was possible with repeated arthroscopic debridement and intravenous antibiotics.

“…A Brazilian study reported 74 post-surgical infections caused by M. massiliense [9]. There have also been reports of skin and soft tissue infections [4,10], post-cesarean section wound infections [11], a post-procedural outbreak associated with ultrasound transmission gel [12], otitis media [5], and endocarditis [13]. Many M. massiliense infections related to iatrogenic procedures or the use of medical appliances have been reported.…”

Mycobacterium massiliense (M. massiliense) is a novel nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and an opportunistic pathogen that lives in the water, soil, food, and air. It is a subspecies of the rapidly growing mycobacteria Mycobacterium abscessus. This atypical pathogen has been reported mainly in patients with lung disease or those undergoing cosmetic or surgical procedures. A 62-year-old woman presented with productive otorrhea for 10 months, no history of surgery, and chronic otitis media. M. massiliense was identified from a tissue specimen using real-time polymerase chain reaction for NTM (Biosewoom, Seoul, Korea), and NTM was identified by acid-fast bacilli culture. Successful treatment consisted of clarithromycin for 4 months. No other case of chronic otitis media related to M. massiliense has been reported. This is the first confirmed case of chronic otitis media caused by M. massiliense in a healthy adult in South Korea.
