    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Osteomyelitis of the foot and ankle is a serious bone infection.
    • Complications can arise despite standard antibiotic treatment.
    • Mycobacterial species are potential, though less common, etiologic agents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a case of complicated osteomyelitis of the foot and ankle.
    • To discuss the challenges of antibiotic therapy in such cases.
    • To compare Mycobacteria species involved in osteomyelitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report presentation.
    • Review of antibiotic treatment outcomes.
    • Comparative analysis of Mycobacteria species.

    Main Results:

    • Standard antibiotic therapy was unsuccessful in resolving the infection.
    • A below-knee amputation was required due to disease progression.
    • Various Mycobacteria species can act as causative agents in osteomyelitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Complex osteomyelitis cases may require surgical intervention.
    • The role of Mycobacteria in osteomyelitis warrants consideration.
    • Effective management strategies for mycobacterial osteomyelitis are crucial.
