Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacteria rarely cause bacteremia in HIV-negative patients. We describe 16 cases, including the first Mycobacterium neoaurum endocarditis. Nine cases were line related. Most patients were immunocompromised secondary to hematologic malignancy or other comorbid conditions. Amikacin had the most reliable in vitro activity. Combination therapy was frequently used. Mortality was 25%.Entities:
