ABSTRACT
Skin and soft tissue infections caused by rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria (RG-NTM) have become a growing clinical concern over the past decades. These RG-NTM are ubiquitous environmental organisms and most are resistant to traditional antituberculous agents. In this report, we describe 3 cutaneous infections caused by RG-NTM, namely, Mycobacterium abscessus, M. chelonae, and M. conceptionense, and present the clinical and laboratory characteristics of these infections.
