Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: We report a genomically linked cluster of 9 Dermatophilus congolensis cutaneous infections diagnosed within 2 months among men who have sex with men in Lyon and Paris, France, 2025-2026. Genomic similarity and shared sexual exposures strongly suggest interhuman sexual transmission of this zoonotic bacterium.
