Mycobacterium Biofilms [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The genus Mycobacterium includes human pathogens (Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae) and environmental organisms known as non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that, when associated with biomaterials and chronic disease, can cause human ...

Phylogenomic analysis of the species of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex demonstrates that Mycobacterium africanum, Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium caprae, Mycobacterium microti and Mycobacterium pinnipedii are later heterotypic synonyms of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2018
The species within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBC) have undergone numerous taxonomic and nomenclatural changes, leaving the true structure of the MTBC in doubt. We used next-generation sequencing (NGS), digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH),

Mycobacterium marinum

Microbiology Spectrum, 2017
ABSTRACT Mycobacterium marinum is a well-known pathogenic mycobacterium for skin and soft tissue infections and is associated with fishes and water. Among nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), it is the leading cause of extrarespiratory human infections worldwide. In addition, there is a specific scientific interest in

Immune evasion and provocation by Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2022
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, has infected humans for millennia. M. tuberculosis is well adapted to establish infection, persist in the face of the host immune response and be transmitted to uninfected individuals.

Mycobacterium biofilms

Biofilm, 2023
The genus Mycobacterium includes some of the deadliest pathogens of History (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae), but most of the species within the genus are environmental microorganisms. Because some of these nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species can be human pathogens, the study of these mycobacterial biofilms has increased during ...

Mycobacterium smegmatis: The Vanguard of Mycobacterial Research

Journal of Bacteriology, 2023
The genus Mycobacterium contains several slow-growing human pathogens, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium leprae, and Mycobacterium avium. Mycobacterium smegmatis is a nonpathogenic and fast growing species within this genus.

Desiccation-Tolerance of Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium chimaera, Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium chelonae

Pathogens, 2022
Desiccation-tolerance of cells of four strains of Mycobacterium chimaera and individual strains of Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium intracellulare, Mycobacterium abscessus, and Mycobacterium chelonae were measured by two methods. The survival of water-acclimated cells both in filter paper and on the surface of stainless-steel coupons were measured ...

Breakthrough Solution for Antimicrobial Resistance Detection: Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy‐based on Artificial Intelligence

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView., 2023
This review discusses the use of Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) combined with Artificial Intelligence (AI) for detecting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Various SERS studies used with AI techniques, including machine learning and deep learning, are analyzed for their advantages and limitations.
