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 ...

Disseminated Mycobacterium abscessus with endocarditis

BMJ Case Reports
We present an uncommon case of endocarditis caused by Mycobacterium abscessus in an immunocompetent patient following a caesarean section. We discuss her turbulent admission course leading to her diagnosis following persistent M. abscessus bacteraemia, medical and surgical management, including a splenectomy and valve resection and repair, and ...

Mycobacterium abscessus: a new antibiotic nightmare [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2012
The intrinsic and acquired resistance of Mycobacterium abscessus to commonly used antibiotics limits the chemotherapeutic options for infections caused by these mycobacteria. Intrinsic resistance is attributed to a combination of the permeability barrier of the complex multilayer cell envelope, drug export systems, antibiotic targets with low affinity ...

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

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 ...
