Mycobacteroides franklinii (formerly Mycobacterium franklinii[2]) is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota belonging to the genus Mycobacteroides.[1] Most of the original strains were isolated from clinical specimens in Pennsylvania, but some have been found in conduit water in the Netherlands.[5] In general, human M. franklinii infections present with symptoms similar to an infection with Mycobacteroides abscessus,[4][6] but it can also be associated with tattoo infections. M. franklinii is also associated with outbreaks of mycobacteriosis in farmed fish.[6][7] M. fanklinii is susceptible to cefoxitin[8] and bedaquiline.[9]
