Colorectal Cancer Complicated by Pulmonary Embolism and Potential Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in a Person With Cystic Fibrosis: Diagnostic and Management Considerations

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
We describe a complex case of pulmonary embolism and dilated cardiomyopathy in a person with cystic fibrosis. These late complications occurred following laparoscopic left hemicolectomy for colonic adenocarcinoma. This case highlights the complexities of evaluating breathlessness in severe lung disease, and the management challenges that arise as life ...

Gaining insights into MmpL3: combining structural and computational approaches to unlock transport and inhibitor‐binding mechanisms

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 550-570, May 2026.
This study investigates the mycobacterial membrane protein MmpL3, a key target for new antituberculosis drugs, by combining high‐resolution crystallography and computational simulations. It reveals how the inhibitor UPAR‐1109 binds to MmpL3, providing detailed insights into the function and flexibility of the protein and supporting the rational design ...

Analysis of Phenotypic and Genotypic Susceptibility to Clarithromycin and Amikacin of Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Strains Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Microorganisms, 2023
Mycobacterium abscessus complex infections are ever on the rise. To curb their increasing evolution, we performed an in-depth study of 43 clinical isolates of cystic fibrosis patients obtained from 2009 to 2020.

Aminoglycoside-modifying enzymes determine the innate susceptibility to aminoglycoside antibiotics in rapidly growing mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2017
Objectives Infections caused by the rapidly growing mycobacterium (RGM) Mycobacterium abscessus are notoriously difficult to treat due to the innate resistance of M. abscessus to most clinically available antimicrobials.

The looming tide of nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in Portugal and Brazil [PDF]

, 2016
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are widely disseminated in the environment and an emerging cause of infectious diseases worldwide. Their remarkable natural resistance to disinfectants and antibiotics and an ability to survive under low-nutrient ...

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 14, 10 April 2026.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis with encapsulated ascites due to Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. massilience and subsp. bolletii: a case series and literature review

Renal Replacement Therapy, 2023
Background As there is no established standard of care for non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis, its treatments have to be case-dependent, which is often difficult.

Two novel species of rapidly growing mycobacteria: Mycobacterium lehmannii sp. nov. and Mycobacterium neumannii sp. nov. [PDF]

, 2017
Two rapidly growing mycobacteria with identical 16S rRNA gene sequences were the subject of a polyphasic taxonomic study. The strains formed a well-supported subclade in the mycobacterial 16S rRNA gene tree and were most closely associated with the type ...
