Section of Infectious Diseases, Veterans Administration Medical Center, Martinez, CA 94553.

A 47-year-old male with a Mentor penile prosthesis presented with purulent drainage eight months after implantation. In addition to other organisms, routine cultures from the implant site yielded Mycobacterium fortuitum, an association never reported previously in the literature. Infection resolved with removal of the implant and antibiotic therapy.
