“…In agreement with this result, M. marinum was also found as the commonest species in Israeli patients, indicating that M. marinum is the commonest species in the Middle East region. Moreover, M. marinum was also found as the commonest AM among different geographic regions including high‐population communities such as Chinese, or small populations such as Satowan island in the central Pacific …”

“…Moreover, M. marinum was also found as the commonest AM among different geographic regions including high-population communities such as Chinese, 17 or small populations such as Satowan island in the central Pacific. 18 Clinical diagnosis of AMCI is difficult because there are no characteristic clinical features of the lesions. The commonest clinical presentation included erythematous plaques and nodules with tendency for hyperkeratosis, crusting and superficial ulcerations, sometimes as sporotrichoid lymphocutaneous infection.…”

“…Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are isolated from human and environmental samples all over the world1, including tropical areas and remote countries and territories2. Our recent investigation of mycobacteria in French Polynesia, a remote French territory composed of 117 islands in the South Pacific3, indicated that rapidly-growing mycobacteria formed the most prevalent group of NTM in human respiratory tract specimens3.…”
