Cutaneous non‐tuberculous mycobacterial infections: A retrospective study of 94 cases from Germany
Summary Background Cutaneous non‐tuberculous mycobacterial infections (NTM) remain a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of this study was to characterize cutaneous NTM infections in Germany over a 24‐year‐period. Patients and Methods 73 patients with cutaneous NTM infections diagnosed at 17 different German University Hospitals from 2000 ...

Mycobacterium avium resists exposure to the acidic conditions of the stomach [PDF]
Organisms of the Mycobacterium avium complex are common pathogens in immunosuppressed patients such as individuals with AIDS. There is evidence that in AIDS patients, the main route for M. avium infection is the gastrointestinal tract.

Acidic pH Restricts Non‐Tuberculous Mycobacteria Replication
Different nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species display unique replication profiles in acidic pH in vitro which correlates to their replication within human macrophages. Inhibition of the acidic environments within the macrophage enhances bacterial viability emphasising the role of acidic pH during NTM infections.

Tegumentary Leishmaniasis Associated With Immune Reconstitution in an HIV Patient—A Case Report
ABSTRACT HIV‐associated Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) may significantly alter the immunopathological presentation of American Tegumentary Leishmaniasis (ATL), occasionally causing paradoxical clinical exacerbations. We report the long‐term follow‐up of a 39‐year‐old female coinfected with HIV and disseminated mucocutaneous ...

Acute and persistent Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections depend on the thiol peroxidase TpX.
The macrophage is the natural niche of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In order to combat oxidative and nitrosative stresses and persist in macrophages successfully, M. tuberculosis is endowed with a very efficient antioxidant complex.

The Role of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Advanced Lung Disease
Among 270 cystic fibrosis patients, 20.7% were NTM‐positive and had a lower pre‐transplant risk of death or lung transplantation but higher post‐transplant mortality, with no difference in CLAD incidence. These results suggest NTM infection should not be an absolute contraindication to lung transplantation, though careful individual risk assessment is ...

Genetic relationships amongst 115 mainly Australian isolates of Mycobacterium avium were assessed using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE). The isolates were divided into 58 electrophoretic types (ETs), with a mean genetic diversity of 0·29 ...
