Mycobacterium fortuitum Endocarditis Associated with Cardiac Surgery, Serbia
TLDR
A cardiac surgery–related outbreak of endocarditis caused by M. fortuitum in 3 children in Serbia is described and the relatedness of the cases is strongly supported by the following.
Mycobacterium fortuitum complex endocarditis-case report and literature review.

TLDR
A case of a female who developed an endocarditis due to Mycobacterium chelonae after valve replacement as well as a review of the literature are presented.
A case of Mycobacterium goodii prosthetic valve endocarditis in a non-immunocompromised patient: use of 16S rDNA analysis for rapid diagnosis
TLDR
Although M. goodii is rarely involved in these kinds of severe infections, rapidly growing mycobacteria should be recognized during conventional bacterial investigations and identified by molecular tools such as analysis of 16S rDNA.
Native valve endocarditis caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria: Case report and review of the literature
TLDR
A case of endocarditis of a native valve caused by M. abscessus is described and described, which is thought to be the first case of its kind described in the literature.
Mycobacterial endocarditis: a comprehensive review Endocardite micobacteriana: uma revisão abrangente
TLDR
This condition has changed significantly in terms of epidemiology since the 21 st century, with more broad patient age range, longer latency, prevailed mitral valve infections and better prognosis, and the rapidly growing mycobacteria become the predominant pathogens.
Native valve endocarditis and pacemaker infection with Mycobacterium fortuitum
Mycobacterium fortuitum prosthetic valve endocarditis: a case for the pathogenetic role of biofilms.
Pleural effusion in an immunocompetent woman caused by Mycobacterium fortuitum.
TLDR
This is the first reported case of haemorrhagic pleural effusion in an immunocompetent patient without underlying diseases, and M. fortuitum should be considered in such cases, especially when microbiology fails to detect the usual pathogens, and when the clinical picture is unclear.

TLDR
This condition has changed significantly in terms of epidemiology since the 21st century, with more broad patient age range, longer latency, prevailed mitral valve infections and better prognosis.
Conservative Treatment of Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis due to Mycobacterium fortuitum
TLDR
The patient was treated medically and had a favorable clinical response, and this is only the second report of survival after Mycobacterium fortuitum-group endocarditis, and the first of survival without surgical intervention.

Spectrum of disease due to rapidly growing mycobacteria.
TLDR
Infections due to M. fortuitum and M. chelonei are probably markedly under-diagnosed, and these organisms are capable of causing a wide spectrum of clinical disease.

TLDR
Treatment of NTM infection most commonly involves surgery, reduction in doses of immunosuppressive medications, and/or therapy with antimycobacterial medications; these treatments are often associated with a good outcome.
