Mycobacterium chelonae can be difficult to treat because of inherent resistance to many available antimicrobials. We present a case of a multidrug-resistant M. chelonae skin infection in a 52-year-old woman who presented with a 3- to 4-week history of painful, erythematous nodules on the bilateral lower extremities. She demonstrated dramatic improvement at her 4-week follow-up on omadacycline.
