Overview

Mycobacterium szulgai is a species of Mycobacterium. It is a Scotochromogen and is currently ungrouped. It is known to cause skin infections.[1]

Treatment

Antimicrobial regimen

  • in vitro susceptibility[2]
  • M. szulgai is susceptible in vitro to most antituberculous drugs including Quinolones and newer Macrolides
  • Pulmonary infection
  • Preferred regimen: three- to four-drug regimen that includes 12 months of negative sputum cultures while on therapy
  • Extrapulmonary infection
  • Preferred regimen: combination antituberculous medication based on in vitro susceptibilities for 4 to 6 months
