Mycobacterium goodii central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection.

Mycobacterium goodii is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium that was first described in 1999. Previous case reports of M. goodii have been associated with prosthetic tissue infection or soft tissue infection. To our knowledge, there is only one previous case report on M. goodii catheter-related infection. Here we report a case of central venous catheter infection with M. goodii complicated by bacteremia.
