A hidden threat: a case of relapsed disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus infection and its therapeutic challenges [PDF]

Journal of Bone and Joint Infection
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM). We present the case of a 57-year-old female on immunosuppressive therapy for polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) who developed disseminated M.

Impact on Macrolide Resistance of Genetic Diversity of Mycobacterium abscessus Species

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Our previous study identified that the Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus T28 sequevar does not fully represent inducible macrolide resistance. Thus, we initiated a correlation study between genotypes and phenotypes.

CRISPR-based genome editing reveals the roles of efflux pumps in <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i>. [PDF]

mLife
Abstract Mycobacterium abscessus, one of the most antimicrobial‐resistant bacteria, is increasingly recognized as the cause of infections that are difficult to treat. Novel genetic manipulation tools are required to elucidate the biology, pathogenesis, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms of M. abscessus.

A phase therapy regimen containing clofazimine manifested high efficacy in treating Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background The guidelines for Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease do not provide a clear approach to combination therapy. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of phase therapy (PT) containing clofazimine (CFZ) for patients with Mycobacterium

Mycobacterium abscessus Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Infection [PDF]

Cureus, 2021
Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing mycobacterium (RGM) known to be abundant in soil, dust and water. Unlike other non-tuberculous mycobacteria, RGM is typically resistant to first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs. These organisms are known to cause community and hospital-acquired infections; however, central nervous system (CNS) infections caused

Isolation and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in a Tertiary Hospital in Korea, 2016 to 2020 [PDF]

Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, 2023
Background There is a global increase in isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The aim of the study was to analyze longitudinal trends of NTM identification and pattern of antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Rapid detection and immune characterization of Mycobacterium abscessus infection in cystic fibrosis patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Cystic fibrosis patients are highly susceptible to infections with non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Especially Mycobacterium abscessus infections are common but reliable diagnosis is hampered by non-specific clinical symptoms and insensitive mycobacterial ...
