Mycobacteroides chelonae
Mycobacteroides chelonae (formerly Mycobacterium chelonae[2]) is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota belonging to the genus Mycobacteroides. Mycobacteroides chelonae is a rapidly growing mycobacterium that is found all throughout the environment, including sewage and tap water. It can occasionally cause opportunistic infections of humans. It is grouped in Runyon group IV.[4]

Epidemiology edit
On average, two cases of nonpulmonary M. chelonae infection are reported in South Australia each year.[6] This bacterium is capable of causing skin, soft tissue, and bone infections, particularly after trauma and surgery. It has been documented as a cause of breast infections after nipple piercing.
