Abstract

In this report, we describe a case of septic arthritis caused by the newly described Mycobacterium persicum (formerly Mycobacterium kansasii complex). The patient's only significant exposure was home gardening. To our knowledge, this represents the first documented case of M. persicum infection in the United States and first septic arthritis.
