Abstract
We describe a 62-year-old woman with a 1-month-old unhealed cat bite wound caused by Mycobacterium chelonae presenting with persistent infection despite treatment with cefazolin and amoxicillin. This is the first reported case of M. chelonae infection caused by a cat bite. Cat bites are affected by the cat’s food microbiome, so clinicians should consider the cat’s diet if wounds are not responding as expected to first-line therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tattoos were historically associated with deviant behaviours or religious and other social purposes, but in the last decades, they have gained increasing popularity and have become a mainstream. The aim of this systematic review is to assess the literature evidence about decorative tattoos complications, considering both infective and non-infective risks. METHODS This systematic review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Statement. We searched the following electronic bibliographic databases: PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science (science and social science citation index). RESULTS The literature search resulted in 6473 studies. A total of 207 full articles were considered potentially relevant and were reviewed independently by researchers. After full-text evaluation, 152 of 207 articles were excluded, as they did not meet selection criteria. The remaining 55 studies were included in the systematic review and their quality assessment was performed. Ten studies reported microbiological complications, 37 reported non-microbiological effects and eight reported either microbiological and non-microbiological complications. CONCLUSIONS Several well-known and uncommon risks are associated with tattooing and tattoo after-care. Public health authorities could take into account health education programmes for tattooists and customers in order to prevent health complications in people with tattoos. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020177972.

Abstract
Tattooing for decorative body art is becoming more popular and, as a result, so are tattoo-related complications. Patients are unlikely to discuss tattoos with medical professionals, even though these might be relevant. Long-term immunosuppressed patients are often young adults who may wish to consider tattooing. It is well recognised that immunosuppressed patients are at increased risk of infection including cutaneous mycobacterial infections. They therefore represent a group that is at a potentially higher risk of tattoo-related complications and warrant special consideration.We present the first documented case of inflammatory myopathy as a complication following tattooing in an immunosuppressed individual. This unusual case presented as distal thigh and medial knee pain and it was only after some time that a link to the tattoo was made. This serves as a reminder to consider tattoo-related complications in the differential diagnosis of unusual atraumatic musculoskeletal pain, especially in immunosuppressed individuals.

Evaluation of the new GenoType NTM-DR kit for the molecular detection of antimicrobial resistance in non-tuberculous mycobacteria. J Antimicrob Chemother 2017; 72:1669-1677.

Abstract
Objectives Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging pathogens causing difficult-to-treat infections. We tested a new assay (GenoType NTM-DR) that detects natural and acquired resistance mechanisms to macrolides and aminoglycosides in frequently isolated NTM species. Methods Performance was assessed on 102 isolates including reference strains [16 Mycobacterium avium , 10 Mycobacterium intracellulare , 8 Mycobacterium chimaera , 15 Mycobacterium chelonae and 53 Mycobacterium abscessus (including subsp. abscessus isolates, 18 with a t28 in erm(41) and 10 with a c28, 13 subsp. bolletii isolates and 12 subsp. massiliense isolates)]. Genotypes were determined by PCR sequencing of erm(41) and rrl for clarithromycin resistance and of the 1400-1480 rrs region for aminoglycoside resistance. Phenotypes were determined by MIC microdilution. Results GenoType NTM-DR yielded results concordant with Sanger sequencing for 100/102 (98%) isolates. The erm(41) genotypic pattern was accurately identified for M. abscessus isolates . Mutations in rrl were detected in 15 isolates (7 M. avium complex, 5 M. abscessus and 3 M. chelonae ) with acquired clarithromycin resistance harbouring rrl mutations (a2057c, a2058g, a2058t or a2059c). Mutations in rrs were detected in five isolates with amikacin resistance harbouring the rrs mutation a1408g. In two isolates, the NTM-DR test revealed an rrl mutation (initial sequencing being WT), which was confirmed by re-sequencing. The test results were concordant with phenotypic susceptibility testing in 96/102 (94.1%) isolates, with four clarithromycin-resistant and two amikacin-resistant isolates not harbouring mutations. Conclusions The GenoType NTM-DR test is efficient in detecting mutations predictive of antimicrobial resistance in M. avium complex, M. abscessus and M. chelonae.
