This chapter focuses on nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), organisms that are ubiquitous in the environment and are thus referred as “environmental mycobacteria” by some experts. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), which includes M. kansasii, M. fortuitum, and M. abscessus, is the most common NTM associated with human disease in the United States.

Pediatric Annals, 1978
The atypical mycobacteria are common human saprophytes. Their presence, particularly in a healthy person, is not associated with disease. In the child they cause two conditions, cervical adenitis and swimming-pool granuloma. Both of these diseases tend to be localized and nonprogressive. The former can be treated with reasonably nontoxic drugs; if this

Immunology Today, 1988
Abstract Autoimmune disease appears to be influenced by multiple factors, including the genetic, hormonal and immunological status of the individual. However, environmental agents have also been implicated in the initiation of these diseases, and mycobacteria have for a long time been listed among these agents.

Current Opinion in Immunology, 1993
Recent progress in the field of immunity to mycobacteria has centered on T cell subset responses and the cytokines these cells secrete. In addition, there has been steady progress in identifying and characterizing several classes of major mycobacterial proteins; included amongst these are the secreted/export proteins of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ...

The Physiology of the Mycobacteria
1976Publisher Summary The chapter discusses the physiology of the mycobacteria. The chapter discusses physiology to cover not only the mycobacterial cell, its structure and organization, but also the properties that the organisms must have—first to enable them to survive once having gained entry to a host, and secondly to bring about the various changes ...

The nontuberculous mycobacteria are for the most part ubiquitous environmental organisms that only rarely cause disease in humans. Therefore, the normal host defense against these organisms must be quite robust, as exposure is universal and disease is rare.

Hospital Practice, 1970
Disease caused by atypical mycobacteria frequently mimics that due to M. tuberculosis, yet the chemotherapeutic response and prognosis differ markedly. Differentiation is thus a key problem. Although awareness of the atypical forms dates back to the last century, only in the past 15 years has progress been made in establishing the pathogenicity of the ...

Among the 130 species that constitute the genus Mycobacterium, the great majority are harmless saprophytes. However, a few species have very efficiently adapted to a pathogenic lifestyle. Among them are two of the most important human pathogens, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae, and one emerging pathogen, Mycobacterium ulcerans ...
