Infection of a Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Caused by Mycolicibacterium litorale

We report the first case of Mycolicibacterium litorale infection identified as a pacemaker infection. The patient was successfully treated by device extraction and combined antibiotic therapy. This case indicates the importance of the pathogenicity of rapidly growing mycobacteria in patients with ca...
