Avian Mycobacteriosis: Still Existing Threat to Humans

BioMed Research International, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
The nontuberculous mycobacteria are typically environmental organisms residing in soil and water. These microorganisms can cause a wide range of clinical diseases; pulmonary disease is most frequent, followed by lymphadenitis in children, skin and soft tissue disease, and rare extra pulmonary or disseminated infections.

Mycobacteria in the environment of pig farms in the Czech Republic between 2003 and 2007

Veterinární Medicína, 2010
In the Czech Republic, most mycobacterial infections in pigs are caused by the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and potentially pathogenic mycobacteria (PPM) derived from the environment. This study was undertaken after the isolation of PPM from various

Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis Infection in Swine Associated with Peat Used for Bedding

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis is an environmental bacterium causing opportunistic infections in swine, resulting in economic losses. Additionally, the zoonotic aspect of such infections is of concern. In the southeastern region of Norway in 2009 and 2010, an increase in condemnation of pig carcasses with tuberculous lesions was seen at the ...

Current Methods in the Molecular Typing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Other Mycobacteria

BioMed Research International, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
In the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) and nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) diseases, as in all infectious diseases, the key issue is to define the source of infection and to disclose its routes of transmission and dissemination in the environment. For this to be accomplished, the ability of discerning and tracking individual Mycobacterium strains ...
