This International Conference on Atypical Mycobacteria, a gathering of outstanding scientists of many fields, attests to the biologic and clinical importance of the mycobacteria and mycobacterioses. This conference may help provide a basis for the formulation of cooperative projects for the attainment of knowledge in each of several fields where I ...

AbstractNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous in the environment and 193 species of NTM have been discovered thus far. NTM species vary in virulence from benign environmental organisms to difficult-to-treat human pathogens. Pulmonary infections remain the most common manifestation of NTM disease in humans and bronchiectasis continues to be a

Identification of mycobacteria
Tubercle, 1967Summary An identification system for the genus Mycobacterium is presented, based on data from 637 strains. The identification process consists of two steps: the first, preliminary grouping, by which test strains are grouped into either the subgenus Mycobacterium (slowly growing mycobacteria) or the subgenus Mycomycobacterium (rapidly growing ...

Electroporation of Mycobacteria
2015High-efficiency transformation of DNA is integral to the study of mycobacteria, allowing genetic manipulation. Electroporation is the most widely used method for introducing DNA into mycobacterial strains. Many parameters contribute to high-efficiency transformation; these include the species per strain, the transforming DNA, the selectable marker, the

Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1995
Mycobacteria, members of which cause tuberculosis and leprosy, produce cell walls of unusually low permeability, which contribute to their resistance to therapeutic agents. Their cell walls contain large amounts of C60-C90 fatty acids, mycolic acids, that are covalently linked to arabinogalactan.

Electroporation of Mycobacteria
2003High-efficiency transformation is a major limitation in the study of mycobacteria. The genus Mycobacterium can be difficult to transform; this is mainly caused by the thick and waxy cell wall but is compounded by the fact that most molecular techniques have been developed for distantly related species such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1997
The nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), especially Mycobacterium avium complex, are being recognized with increasing frequency as clinical pathogens, not only as a cause of disseminated disease in patients with AIDS but also as a cause of chronic lung disease in patients without AIDS. These infections have traditionally been difficult and frustrating to

The importance of mycobacteria as opportunistic pathogens, particularly members of the M. avium complex (MAC), in patients with progressive HIV infection was recognized early in the AIDS epidemic. It took longer to appreciate the global impact and devastation that would result from the deadly synergy that exists between HIV and M. tuberculosis.

Mycobacterial infections can cause a variety of different manifestations. The increasing incidence of these infections worldwide brought another medical dilemma: immunological manifestations characterized by the presence of many autoantibodies and concomitant presence of autoimmune diseases.

The nontuberculous mycobacteria are species different from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In the past these organisms were referred to as “atypical” (as they were thought to be unusual M. tuberculosis strains), as “anonymous”, as “tuberculoid”, or as “opportunistic”, but actually they are widely known as environmental mycobacteria because their peculiar ...
