Polymicrobial Intracerebral Abscess Growing Mycobacterium avium complex and Achromobacter xylosoxidans: Case Report and Literature Review.

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and Achromobacter xylosoxidans (AX) are uncommon sources of neurosurgical infections, particularly in immunocompetent hosts. We report the first published case of intracranial AX abscess and polymicrobial AX-MAC abscess, as well as the fourth MAC abscess in a non-immunocompromised patient.
