Isolation of Mycobacterium thermoresistibile following augmentation mammaplasty

This is the first case report of a Mycobacterium thermoresistibile infection following augmentation mammaplasty and is the fourth human case report of M. thermoresistibile infection. Antimicrobial susceptibility results determined by a modified proportion method using a 3-day incubation were the same as those determined by the standard 3-week assay.
