Mycobacteroides franklinii

Mycobacteroides franklinii (formerly Mycobacterium franklinii^[2]) is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota belonging to the genus Mycobacteroides.^[1] Most of the original strains were isolated from clinical specimens in Pennsylvania, but some have been found in conduit water in the Netherlands.^[5] In general, human M. franklinii infections present with symptoms similar to an infection with Mycobacteroides abscessus,^[4][6] but it can also be associated with tattoo infections.^{[citation needed]} M. franklinii is also associated with outbreaks of mycobacteriosis in farmed fish.^[6][7] M. fanklinii is susceptible to cefoxitin^[8] and bedaquiline.^[9]
