Abstract

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are mycobacterial species other than Mycobacterium tuberculous and Mycobacterium leprae [1]. They are environmental organisms which have been implicated in a wide array of clinical syndromes. Here we describe a case of a Mycobacterium fortuitum complex liver abscess in a liver transplant recipient.
