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.

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.

“Spitting Stones” and Broncholithiasis Caused by Mycobacterium chimaera in a Patient Affected by Bronchiectasis: A Rare Clinical Case

Case Reports in Pulmonology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
We describe the case of a 62‐year‐old woman with underlying bronchiectasis who referred to our respiratory outpatient clinic for hemoptysis and lithoptysis, in addition to difficulty gaining weight over years. Chest CT scan revealed small pulmonary nodules, bronchiectasis with mucus plugs, and calcifications, both endobronchial and peribronchial ...

Mycobacterium avium–intracellulare brain abscesses in an HIV-infected patient

IDCases, 2015
The Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) is an uncommon cause of brain abscesses even in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We present a case of a multiple MAC brain abscesses, confirmed by brain biopsy and culture, in a patient with AIDS. The patient's initial symptoms were weakness, confusion and headaches.
