“…In immunocompetent people, localized cutaneous involvement typifies the infection, whereas a disseminated infection occurs in the immunosuppressed. [20][21][22][23][24] Cutaneous lesions can occur as erythematous papules, ulcerative nodules or abscesses, 25 draining sinus tracts, 26 sporotrichoid lesions on the extremities, 7,21 or even cutaneous vasculitis. 27 Lesions usually appear within 1 to 2 months of inoculation.…”

“…Other species that have been associated with bone or joint infection include M. wolinskyi (48); M. haemophilum (295,347); the M. fortuitum group (153), including M. setense (201); M. goodii (48); M. abscessus (234); and M. chelonae (98,410). Recently, 13/20 cases of M. goodii and M. wolinskyi infections were associated with osteomyelitis, one following postsurgical (hardware) replacement (48).…”

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing, Drug Resistance Mechanisms, and Therapy of Infections with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

SUMMARY Within the past 10 years, treatment and diagnostic guidelines for nontuberculous mycobacteria have been recommended by the American Thoracic Society (ATS) and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA). Moreover, the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has published and recently (in 2011) updated recommendations including suggested antimicrobial and susceptibility breakpoints. The CLSI has also recommended the broth microdilution method as the gold standard for laboratories performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing of nontuberculous mycobacteria. This article reviews the laboratory, diagnostic, and treatment guidelines together with established and probable drug resistance mechanisms of the nontuberculous mycobacteria.

“…The few reported cases of mycobacterial disease in sea turtles have mostly indicated single organ involvement such as the lung, liver, spleen, or epidermis. No reported mycobacteriosis in a sea turtle has yet been associated with bone or a joint or has identified the species as M. chelonae (Thoen et al, 1977;Drabick et al, 1990;Hines et al, 1995). The paucity of reports of mycobacteriosis in sea turtles may be due to the special stains and bacterial isolation techniques needed for identification of the disease.…”

A stranded Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) was rescued and treated at the National Aquarium in Baltimore (Maryland, USA) for inappetence and epidermal appendicular and plastral lesions. After 4 mo of care, the turtle developed a swollen left elbow joint. Within 1 mo of initial swelling, osteolytic lesions developed in the proximal radius and ulna. The elbow joint was surgically debrided, flushed, and cultured. The incision dehisced 10 days after surgery. Mycobacterium chelonae was cultured from the left elbow joint and from a skin nodule of the dorsum of the right front flipper. The turtle was euthanized due to apparent systemic infection with M. chelonae. Mycobacterium chelonae was isolated from cultures taken at necropsy of the lung, liver, spleen, kidney, and pericardium. Osteoarthritic infections with M. chelonae have not been reported in reptiles. Additionally, primary osteoarthritic diseases of synovial joints are uncommon in reptilian species. Due to the paucity of reports of mycobacterial diseases in sea turtles, the continued documentation of these cases will increase knowledge and understanding in caring for these endangered animals.
