Surgical site infections (SSIs) owing to nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as an important cause of hospital-acquired SSI leading to great morbidity and mortality. Among NTM, is reported in these sites. Epidemiology and transmission of in humans is noticing crux changes. We hereby describe a case of SSI after lower segment cesarean section (LSCS), presenting as a skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI) owing to a NTM. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of infections caused by M. abscessus in patients who develop SSIs, particularly if they do not respond to conventional first-line antimicrobial therapy.
非结核分枝杆菌（NTM）引起的手术部位感染（SSIs）已成为医院获得性SSI的重要原因，导致很高的发病率和死亡率。在NTM中，这些部位有相关报道。NTM在人类中的流行病学和传播正在发生关键变化。我们在此描述一例下段剖宫产（LSCS）术后的SSI病例，表现为NTM引起的皮肤和软组织感染（SSTI）。临床医生应意识到发生SSIs的患者有脓肿分枝杆菌感染的可能性，特别是如果他们对传统一线抗菌治疗无反应。
