A complicated infection by cutaneous Nocardia wallacei and pulmonary Mycobacterium abscessus in a Chinese immunocompetent patient: a case report

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Nocardiosis is an infectious disease caused by Nocardia that primarily affects immunocompromised hosts. Mycobacterium abscessus is a common opportunistic pathogen that causes disease in humans, including pulmonary and extrapulmonary infection.

Lung Microbiome Diversity, Infection Dynamics, and Microbe‐Mediated Cross‐Protection

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
The protective role of the lung microbiome in maintaining respiratory health by promoting immune homeostasis, pathogen exclusion, and barrier integrity. Diverse microbial communities regulate immune maturation, enhance epithelial defenses, and contribute to antiviral responses, collectively preventing pathogen colonization and sustaining a balanced ...

Evaluation of the cross-immunity between Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium abscessus in vitro

BMC Microbiology
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) and Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) are important pathogens that can cause lung diseases. Given the abundance of shared antigens between these two pathogens, evaluating the cross-immunization between ...

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dilemmas in Recurrent Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis After Bilateral Lung Transplantation

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is an ultra‐rare lung disease that can recur even years after bilateral lung transplantation, as in this 73‐year‐old man whose diagnosis was delayed by PAS‐negative BAL and overlapping opportunistic infections (Nocardia, MAC, Aspergillus). Despite initially normal post‐transplant spirometry, he developed progressive

Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Osteomyelitis of the Wrist

Cureus, 2022
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) is a ubiquitous, rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium, which is known to cause life-threatening lung infections in immunocompromised individuals following exposure to contaminated injectable products. We report a case of M. abscessus osteomyelitis of the right wrist in a 28-year-old patient with a history

Data_Sheet_1_Sitafloxacin Expresses Potent Anti-Mycobacterium abscessus Activity.docx

, 2022
Therapeutic options for treating Mycobacterium abscessus infections are extremely limited; quinolones are important. The in vitro anti-M. abscessus activities of nine quinolones, emphasizing sitafloxacin, were investigated.

Virulence-Associated Secretion in Mycobacterium abscessus

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
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.

The genome sequence of 'Mycobacterium massiliense' strain CIP 108297 suggests the independent taxonomic status of the Mycobacterium abscessus complex at the subspecies level. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Members of the Mycobacterium abscessus complex are rapidly growing mycobacteria that are emerging as human pathogens. The M. abscessus complex was previously composed of three species, namely M. abscessus sensu stricto, 'M. massiliense', and 'M. bolletii'

Microscopic Polyangiitis After Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease: A Case Report and Literature Review

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
This case highlights that ANCA‐associated vasculitis can emerge in patients with chronic airway disease and a history of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection, potentially masquerading as infection‐related inflammation. Early recognition based on extrapulmonary clues (urinary abnormalities and neuropathy) enabled prompt diagnosis and treatment with ...
