Sacroiliitis secondary to catheter-related bacteremia due to Mycobacterium abscessus (sensu stricto).

Abstract

International audienceWe describe a case of sacroiliitis secondary to catheter-related bacteremia due to Mycobacterium abscessus (sensu stricto). This case confirms that MultiLocus sequence typing and variable-number tandem-repeat methods are very robust techniques to identify the pathogen species and to validate molecular epidemiological links among complex M. abscessus isolates
