This is the first reported case of M. chelonae infection caused by a cat bite. Cat bites are affected by the cat’s food microbiome, so clinicians should consider the cat’s diet if wounds are not responding as expected to first-line therapy.Keywords: cat bite, Mycobacterium chelonae, wound infection |
