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.

Asymptomatic Neurosyphilis Presenting With Bilateral Pulmonary Nodules: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2025.
This report presents for the first time, a case of asymptomatic neurosyphilis with multiple pulmonary nodules and buttock lipodystrophy. This case showed a high expression of RPR (154 R.U.) and given the nature of the patient's work (long‐distance transportation), short‐term follow‐up was difficult.

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.

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.

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.
