Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are increasingly recognized causes of postoperative surgical site infections. NTM pose a significant therapeutic challenge due to their intrinsic resistance to the major classic antituberculous drugs and to several other lines of antibacterial agents. Mycobacterium abscessus and fortuitum are two of the rapidly growing mycobacterium commonly isolated from surgical site infections. We present sensitivity pattern of 19 isolates among breast surgical site infections showing remarkable pattern of sensitivity to the commonly used anti mycobacterial agents
