Non-disulfide-Bridge peptide 5.5 from the Scorpion Hadrurus gertschi Inhibits the growth of mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense [PDF]
Multi-drug resistant microorganisms have been a growing concern during the last decades due to their contribution in mortality rates worldwide. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are broad spectrum antimicrobial agents that display potent microbicidal ...

Outcomes of Pulmonary Mycobacterium abscessus Infection
Background: Treatment of Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease (PD) is challenging with frequent side effects and uncertain rates of success. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all patients at our center with at least one respiratory sample positive for M. abscessus

Proposal that Mycobacterium massiliense and Mycobacterium bolletii be united and reclassified as Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. bolletii comb. nov., designation of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus subsp. nov. and emended description of Mycobacterium abscessus [PDF]
The names ‘Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus’ and ‘Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massiliense’, proposed by Leao et al. (2009, J Clin Microbiol 47, 2691–2698), cannot be validly published. The purpose of this report is to provide a description in accordance with the Rules of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision).

Disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus infection and native valve endocarditis
Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing mycobacterium. It rarely causes disseminated infection or endocarditis. A 55-year-old male with a history of hepatitis C, liver cirrhosis, intravenous drug use (last use was four years ago), and chronic back ...

Virulence-Associated Secretion in Mycobacterium abscessus
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a heterogeneous group of originally environmental organi3sms, increasingly recognized as pathogens with rising prevalence worldwide. Knowledge of NTM’s mechanisms of virulence is lacking, as molecular research of these bacteria is challenging, sometimes more than that of M.

Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare is the main driver of the rise in non-tuberculous mycobacteria incidence in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, 2007–2012 [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolation from humans is increasing worldwide. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland (EW&NI) the reported rate of NTM more than doubled between 1996 and 2006.
