During the last decade <i>Mycobacterium chimaera</i> (see below) infections following cardiothoracic surgery, especially open-heart surgery, have been increasingly reported worldwide.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Infections usually involve the respiratory system. <i>Mycobacterium chimaera</i> is acquired during cardiopulmonary bypass via bioaerosols emitted from contaminated heater-cooler units water systems. Due to nonspecific symptoms and long latency, postoperative <i>Mycobacterium chimaera</i> infections may not be promptly diagnosed and treated, and may become life-threatening.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>In 2004, Tortoli et al. proposed the name <i>M. chimaera</i> for strains that a reverse hybridization–based line probe assay suggested belonged to MAIS (<i>M. avium–M. intracellulare–M. scrofulaceum</i> group), but were different from <i>M. avium</i>, <i>M. intracellulare</i>, or <i>M. scrofulaceum</i>. The new species name comes from the <a href="Chimera_(mythology)" title="Chimera (mythology)">Chimera</a>, a mythological being made up of parts of three different animals.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
