Identification & differentiation of Mycobacterium avium & M. intracellulare by PCR- RFLP assay using the groES gene [PDF]

, 2007
Background & objectives: We report a new polymerase chain reaction (PCR) – restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) assay using mycobacterial groES as a target to identify Mycobacterium avium and M. intracellulare in clinical samples.

Investigation of an outbreak of mycobacteriosis in pigs [PDF]

, 2011
Background: A high proportion of pigs imported to Serbia from a Lithuanian breeding herd reacted positively against avian and/or bovine tuberculin. The pigs were euthanized and lesions characteristic for mycobacterial infection were detected.

Conserved mycobacterial sRNA B11 regulates lipooligosaccharide synthesis at posttranscriptional level in Mycobacterium marinum

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 447-460, August 2025.
Abstract Extractable glycolipids of mycobacteria, such as lipooligosaccharides (LOSs), play crucial roles in responding to environmental stress and modulating the host immune response. Although the biosynthesis of LOS is likely regulated at multiple levels to ensure proper composition of the cell wall, the key regulators remain unknown.

PCR-reverse blot hybridization assay in respiratory specimens for rapid detection and differentiation of mycobacteria in HIV-negative population

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2021
Background Rapid identification of pathogenic Mycobacterium species is critical for a successful treatment. However, traditional method is time-consuming and cannot discriminate isolated non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM) at species level.

Risk Factors and Long‐Term Prognosis for Coinfection of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease and Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis: A Multicentre Observational Study in Japan

Mycoses, Volume 68, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD) is a chronic respiratory infection with increasing prevalence and mortality worldwide. Coinfection with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a significant complication of NTM‐PD, often complicating treatment and resulting in poor prognosis.

In vitro activity of bedaquiline against rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2017
Bedaquiline (BDQ) has been proven to be effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We hypothesized that BDQ could be a potential agent to treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate

Atypical presentation of disseminated mycobacteriosis due to Mycobacterium avium in an aged cat

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 121-126, March 2025.
In cats, mycobacteriosis tends to present in a syndromic manner, with cases either being due to tuberculosis (TB) (in countries where TB is endemic), one of the “leprosy‐like” diseases affecting the skin and subcutis, panniculitis caused by infection of subcutaneous tissues generally with rapidly growing Mycobacteria spp.

Comparative radiological features of disseminated disease due to vs non-mycobacteria among AIDS patients in Brazil [PDF]

, 2008
Background: Disseminated mycobacterial disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with HIV-infection. Nonspecific clinical presentation makes the diagnosis difficult and sometimes neglected. Methods: We conducted a retrospective
