Treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus Complex [PDF]

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2018
AbstractOf the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTMs) causing lung disease, members of the Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABc) present a formidable obstacle to successful management. This challenge starts from a poorly understood pathogenesis, continues with complicated subspecies variation in treatment response, and extends to the multidrug-resistant ...

In vitro activity of bedaquiline against rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2017
Bedaquiline (BDQ) has been proven to be effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We hypothesized that BDQ could be a potential agent to treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate

Consequences of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator mutations on inflammatory cells [PDF]

, 2016
Recent studies in cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane regulator (CFTR) mutations and function have shed light on its involvement in disease progression. The extent of cell and tissue distribution of CFTR facilitates systemic dysfunction of ion transport ...

Complete Genome Sequences of Mycobacterium smegmatis Phages NihilNomen and Carlyle, Isolated in Las Vegas, Nevada [PDF]

, 2019
We present the complete genomes of the Mycobacterium smegmatis phages Carlyle and NihilNomen, isolated from soil in Las Vegas, Nevada. The phages were isolated and annotated by undergraduate students enrolled in the Phage Discovery course offered by the ...

Probable disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies bolletii infection in a patient with idiopathic CD4+ T lymphocytopenia: a case report. [PDF]

, 2012
INTRODUCTION: Rapidly growing mycobacteria are opportunistic pathogens in patients with underlying riskfactors. Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii is a newly recognized member of rapidlygrowing mycobacteria, isolated from respiratory tract and ...

Treatment ofMycobacterium abscessusInfection [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Mycobacterium abscessus is often resistant to multiple antimicrobial drugs, and data supporting effective drugs or dosing regimens are limited. To better identify treatment approaches and associated toxicities, we collected a series of case reports from the Emerging Infections Network. Side effects were common and often led to changing or discontinuing

Population heterogeneity in Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium abscessus

Microbiology, 2023
Bacteria use population heterogeneity, the presence of more than one phenotypic variant in a clonal population, to endure diverse environmental challenges – a ‘bet-hedging’ strategy. Phenotypic variants have been described in many bacteria, but the phenomenon is not well-understood in mycobacteria, including the environmental factors that influence ...

A Case of Multiple Skin Lesions After LipodissolveTM Injection

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2022
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium commonly found in soil and water. It can cause localized infection when inoculated during surgical or cosmetic procedures.
