Description:

Osteomyelitis is a rare clinical manifestation of infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). We report an adolescent with femoral osteomyelitis associated with prosthetic material due to an emerging pathogen, Mycobacterium goodii. Application of secA1 and 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing reliably determined the NTM species, enabling targeted antimicrobial therapy.
