Phylogenetic distribution of malonate semialdehyde decarboxylase (MSAD) genes among strains within the genus Mycobacterium: evidence of MSAD gene loss in the evolution of pathogenic mycobacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Despite the great diversity of malonate semialdehyde decarboxylases (MSADs), one of five subgroups of the tautomerase superfamily (TSF) found throughout the biosphere, their distribution among strains within the genus Mycobacterium remains unknown.

Isolation of Mycobacterium avium and other nontuberculous mycobacteria in chickens and captive birds in peninsular Malaysia

BMC Veterinary Research, 2021
Background Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) causes a chronic infectious in the birds known as avian mycobacteriosis. Almost all species of the birds are susceptible to MAC which consists of two closely related species of mycobacteria, that is, M.

Characterization of Rosculus vilicus sp. nov., a rhizarian amoeba interacting with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Free-living amoebae are described as potential reservoirs for pathogenic bacteria in the environment. It has been hypothesized that this might be the case for Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for paratuberculosis. In

Monitored therapy of sporadic mycobacteriosis caused by Mycobacterium genavense in Atlantic canaries (Serinus canaria) and Bengalese finch (Lonchura striata)

Journal of Veterinary Research, 2021
Mycobacteriosis is a significant disease of companion and wild birds which causes emaciation and widely distributed lesions, as well as being a potential zoonosis. Its primary aetiological agents in birds are Mycobacterium avium subsp.
