chimaera formed a robust biofilm at the air-liquid interface of borosilicate glass tubes, which increased in mass over time. chimaera colonization of the surfaces was monitored for 6 weeks. chimaera strains, including two HCD isolates, were used to inoculate a panel of medical device materials. chimaera can form biofilms on medically relevant materials. This study explored the hypothesis that M. chimaera to antimicrobials may be aided by a protective biofilm matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). The colonization of surgical heater-cooler devices (HCDs) by the slow-growing NTM species Mycobacterium chimaera has recently been linked to multiple invasive infections in patients worldwide. Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are widespread in the environment and are a public health concern due to their resistance to antimicrobial agents. Surgical-site infections in context of medical tourism need appropriate bacteriological investigations, considering potential NTM-infections. This case presents major complications of multisite aesthetic surgery. At ten months’ follow-up, gluteal asymmetry persists for deep scarring. The gluteal wound healed within six weeks. In periprosthetic fluid, Mycobacterium abscessus, Propionibacterium, and Staphylococcus epidermidis were identified.

Bacterial analysis of periprosthetic and gluteal liquids included Gram-stain plus acid-fast stain, and aerobic, anaerobic and mycobacterial cultures. Debridement under general anaesthesia was followed by open wound management. MRI showed large subcutaneous collection. At entrance, gluteal puncture for bacterial analysis was performed. Adequate antibiotic treatment was stopped after seven days for drug-related hepatitis. Three months postoperatively, implants were removed for NTM-infection in Switzerland. Five months before, she had breast implants replacement, abdominal liposuction, and gluteal lipofilling in Mexico. A 39-year-old healthy female was referred for acute infection of the right gluteal area. Due to late manifestation, infections occur when patients are back home, where they must be managed properly.Ĭase Report. As NTM grow in biofilms, implantations of foreign bodies are at risk. Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) occasionally cause surgical-site infections. Medical tourism for aesthetic surgery is popular. But, they got divorced later.Introduction.
