Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1271-1292, July 2026.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

Development of a loop-mediated isothermal amplification coupled lateral flow dipstick targeting erm(41) for detection of Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium massiliense

AMB Express, 2019
Mycobacterium abscessus (M. abscessus) and Mycobacterium massiliense (M. massiliense) are major pathogens that cause post-surgical wound infection and chronic pulmonary disease. Although they are closely related subspecies of M.

Comparative genome analyses of mycobacteria give better insights into their evolution. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Mycobacteria a genus of Actinobacteria are widespread in nature ranging from soil-dwelling saprophytes to human and animal pathogens. The rate of growth has been a classifying factor for the Mycobacterium spp., dividing them into the rapid growers and ...

Cutaneous Mycobacterium haemophilum Infection in an Immunosuppressed Host: A Case Report of Diagnostic Considerations and Microbiologic Confirmation

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Cutaneous Mycobacterium haemophilum infection may be missed due to its requirement for iron supplementation and low‐temperature incubation, making early consideration of NTM infection and use of molecular diagnostics essential, particularly in immunocompromised hosts where IRIS may mimic disease progression.

Pathogenicity and virulence of Mycobacterium abscessus

Virulence
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), such as Mycobacterium abscessus (Mab) are an increasing cause of human disease. While the majority of immunocompetent hosts control Mab infections, the robust survival of Mab within the environment has shaped survival in human cells to help drive persistence and cause inflammatory damage in susceptible individuals ...

Osteomyelitis in the Left First Toe Due to Mycobacterium abscessus after an Injury

Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2023
“Non-tuberculous mycobacteria” (NTM) is a general term for pathogenic mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae. Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are widely present in the natural environment, including soil and water, with ...

Urologic Bacteriome: The Hero or the Villain in Prostate Cancer Onset, Progression, and Treatment?

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1111-1151, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide and the fifth leading cause of cancer‐related mortality, presenting urgent unmet clinical needs in diagnosis and treatment. The recognition of the microbiome as a key factor in human health has prompted numerous studies, revealing an exciting new approach to ...

Nocardia cyriacigeorgica Identified by Bronchial Washing During Evaluation of Radiologic Progression in a Patient With Prior Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Diseases

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
In this case of pulmonary nocardiosis complicating prior nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease, repeat bronchial washing cytology revealed filamentous organisms suggestive of ongoing nocardial infection despite negative cultures. Bronchoscopic sampling may therefore aid in not only initial diagnosis but also reassessment when sputum studies ...

Mycobacterium abscessus: Shapeshifter of the Mycobacterial World [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
In this review we will focus on unique aspects of Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) which we feel earn it the designation of "shapeshifter of the mycobacterial world." We will review its emergence as a distinct species, the recognition and description of MABS subspecies which are only now being clearly defined in terms of pathogenicity, its ability to ...
