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.

Kutane Infektionen mit nicht‐tuberkulösen Mykobakterien: eine retrospektive Studie mit 94 Fällen aus Deutschland

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 608-618, May 2026.
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Kutane nichttuberkulöse Mykobakterien‐Infektionen (NTM) sind diagnostisch und therapeutisch herausfordernd. Ziel dieser Studie war die Charakterisierung kutaner NTM‐Infektionen in Deutschland über einen Zeitraum von 24 Jahren. Patienten und Methodik Eingeschlossen wurden 73 Patienten mit kutanen NTM‐Infektionen, die zwischen

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.

Acidic pH Restricts Non‐Tuberculous Mycobacteria Replication

Molecular Microbiology, Volume 125, Issue 5, Page 375-388, May 2026.
Different nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species display unique replication profiles in acidic pH in vitro which correlates to their replication within human macrophages. Inhibition of the acidic environments within the macrophage enhances bacterial viability emphasising the role of acidic pH during NTM infections.

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 ...

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 ...

The Role of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Advanced Lung Disease

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Among 270 cystic fibrosis patients, 20.7% were NTM‐positive and had a lower pre‐transplant risk of death or lung transplantation but higher post‐transplant mortality, with no difference in CLAD incidence. These results suggest NTM infection should not be an absolute contraindication to lung transplantation, though careful individual risk assessment is ...

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.

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 ...
