Abstract
A Gram-positive, acid-fast, aerobic, rapidly growing and non-motile strain was isolated from lead-zinc mine tailing sampled in Lanping, Yunnan province, Southwest China. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the most closely related species of strain KC 300T was Mycolicibacterium litorale CGMCC 4.5724T (98.47 %). Additionally, phylogenomic and specific conserved signature indel analysis revealed that strain KC 300T should be a member of genus Mycolicibacterium, and Mycobacterium palauense CECT 8779T and Mycobacterium grossiae DSM 104744T should also members of genus Mycolicibacterium. The genome size of strain KC 300T was 6.2 Mb with an in silico DNA G+C content of 69.2 mol%. Chemotaxonomic characteristics of strain KC 300T were also consistent with the genus Mycolicibacterium. The average nucleotide identity, digital DNA-DNA hybridization and average amino acid identity values, as well as phenotypic, physiological and biochemical characteristics, support that strain KC 300T represents a new species within the genus Mycolicibacterium, for which the name Mycolicibacterium arseniciresistens sp. nov. is proposed, with the type strain KC 300T (=CGMCC 1.19494T=JCM 35915T). In addition, we reclassified Mycobacterium palauense and Mycobacterium grossiae as Mycolicibacterium palauense comb. nov. and Mycolicibacterium grossiae comb. nov., respectively.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim of this article is to review skin and soft tissue infections due to rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), with a particular focus on recently published literature (2021-2022). RECENT FINDINGS RGM are increasingly reported as a cause of skin and soft tissue infections, both in the community setting and as a cause of nosocomial outbreaks. Recent advances in molecular methods have expanded the number of species of RGM and resulted in increased diagnosis. New treatment options are under evaluation particularly for Mycobacterium abscessus , the most difficult-to-treat among RGM. SUMMARY RGM are an uncommon cause of skin and soft tissue infections and a high clinical suspicion together with advanced laboratory facilities are required for diagnosis. Species identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing are essential to drive appropriate treatment, which combines surgical debridement with prolonged antimycobacterial combination therapy.

Abstract
Next-generation sequencing is a powerful tool to accurately identify pathogens. The MinION sequencer is best suited for the rapid identification of bacterial species due to its real-time sequence output. In this chapter, we introduce a method to identify nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in one sequencing analysis from culture isolates using the MinION sequencer. NTM disease is now recognized as a growing global health concern due to its increasing incidence and prevalence. There are over 200 NTM species, of which the major pathogens are further classified into many subspecies showing different antibiotic susceptibilities. Therefore, identifying the pathogens at the subspecies level of NTM is necessary to select an appropriate treatment regimen. The protocol described here includes DNA extraction by lysis using silica beads, library preparation, sequencing by the MinION sequencer, and analysis of multilocus sequence typing using the software "mlstverse" and enables rapid and comprehensive identification of 175 species of NTM at the subspecies level with high sensitivity and accuracy.
