| Popis: | We report two cases of lower-extremity furunculosis caused by Mycobacterium mageritense . Both patients were patrons of the same nail salon, where they received footbaths prior to pedicures. M. mageritense bacteria isolated from two whirlpool footbaths were determined to be closely related to the patient isolates by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. |
