Abstract
A case of cutaneous Mycobacterium chelonae infection with sporotrichoid spread and extensive antibiotic resistance is presented. Control of this problem was only achieved after extensive debridement and grafting of the involved limb. The importance of surgery in management is discussed and the literature is reviewed.
