Mycolicibacter heraklionensis

Mycolicibacter heraklionensis (formerly Mycobacterium heraklionense[2]) is a species of bacteria from the phylum Actinomycetota.[1] It is susceptible to clarithromycin.[4] It is known to cause tenosynovitis in humans,[5][6][7][8] but has also been isolated from sputum,[9] urine,[9] and a soft-tissue ankle mass.[10]
