The port was removed and subjected to a culture of microbes containing brain heart infusion broth (BHI). On the second day, acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear-positive organisms had grown and were subsequently identified as Mycobacterium fortuitum. Susceptibility tests demonstrated that the isolate was resistant to imipenem (IPM, MIC 100 mg/ml) and clarithromycin (CAM, MIC 100 mg/ml), although MIC of ciprofloxacin (CPFX), minocycline (MINO) and amikacin (AMK) were 0.2, 0.78 and 6.25 mg/ml, respectively. Removal of the infected device followed by combination therapy caused rapid improvement of the patient s symptoms. During the 6-month course of treatment, which included oral CPFX monotherapy, no recurrence was observed. Vol. 19 No
