Mycobacterium Avium Intracellulare

Journal of Spinal Disorders, 1998
A case of vertebral osteomyelitis secondary to Mycobacterium avium intracellulare mimicking Pott's paraplegia is reviewed. To our knowledge, it represents the first published case in a patient without gross immunocompromise. The importance of early differentiation from tuberculous osteomyelitis is stressed as treatment regimens differ and outcomes may ...

Immunopathogenesis of Mycobacterium avium infection

Frontiers in Bioscience, 1998
One of the most obvious problems one perceives when working with Mycobacterium avium isolates is the vast array of phenotypes expressed with regard to colonial morphotype, serovar and particularly virulence. Thus whenever experimental data derived from different MAC isolates is compared the variety of this group of mycobacteria must always be ...

Mycobacterium avium infections in man

The American Journal of Medicine, 1973
Abstract A disseminated infection with Mycobacterium avium, serotype 1, is described in a 63 year old woman with reticulum cell sarcoma. The organism was demonstrated in vivo in lymph nodes, bone marrow, urine and sputum, and at autopsy within an intraocular abscess. Previous reports of human infections with Myco.

Mycobacterium avium Acute Mastoiditis

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1984
To our knowledge, atypical mycobacterium has not previously been implicated in de novo acute mastoiditis. We encountered a case in which Mycobacterium avium was the causative agent in acute mastoiditis, in the absence of any bacterial infection.

The GroES antigens of Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis

Veterinary Microbiology, 1999
The GroES antigen provokes a strong immune response in human beings with tuberculosis or leprosy. We cloned and sequenced the Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis GroES genes. M. avium and M. paratuberculosis have identical GroES sequences which differ from other mycobacterial species. This supports the current formal designation of M.

Mechanisms of Mycobacterium Avium Pathogenesis

2001
Infections caused by Mycobacterium avium are common in AIDS patients and patients with chronic lung diseases. The bacterium can be acquired both through the intestinal route and respiratory route. M. avium is capable of invading mucosal epithelial cells and translocating across the mucosa.

Molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare in captive birds

Veterinary Microbiology, 2008
Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare are primary causes of mycobacteriosis in captive birds throughout the world, but little is known about how they are transmitted. To define the local epidemiology of infection, we strain-typed 70 M. avium subsp. avium and 15 M. intracellulare culture isolates obtained over a 4-year period

Different immune response of pigs to Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium and Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis infection

Veterinary Microbiology, 2012
Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium (MAA) and Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) are the most common mycobacterial species isolated from granulomatous lesions in swine in countries with controlled bovine tuberculosis. This study is focused on the immunological aspect of MAA and MAH infection in pigs.

MIRU–VNTR typing of Mycobacterium avium in animals and humans: Heterogeneity of Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis versus homogeneity of Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium strains

Research in Veterinary Science, 2011
Epidemiological studies on Mycobacterium avium are requisite for revealing infection sources and disease transmission. They are based upon genotyping methods like RFLP and MIRU-VNTR. In our study, MIRU-VNTR typing was applied to 121 previously RFLP typed M. avium field isolates to compare the discriminatory power of both methods.

Lactic Oxidases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis avium

Nature, 1952
WE have previously discovered that the cell-free preparation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis avium (Takeo strain) catalyses the oxidation of lactate. Recently, we have confirmed that this preparation contains two distinct lactic oxidases, and made clear the respective characteristic properties.
