We describe a non-HIV-infected adult with refractory bacteremia, osteomyelitis, and colonization of M. simiae in the respiratory tract who subsequently developed fatal bacteremic pneumonia. The isolate was confirmed as M. simiae by 16S rRNA gene analysis. Copyright ? 2009, American Society for Microbiology.
