A 36 year old man sustains a deep wound on his finger when cleaning and repairing the blade of his lawn mower. After approximately 5 days, he presents to the emergency department; the finger is swollen with frank pus. A culture of the purulent material is sent to the microbiology laboratory, and grows abundant mixed bacterial flora, including enteric Gram-negative rods.
After approximately 5 days of incubation, the liquid culture for mycobacteria (AFB) signals positive. This liquid culture is subcultured to solid medium. After approximately 3 days of growth, a bright-yellow, acid fast organism is observed.
