Relationship between food quality and body size of common vole in different habitats
The body size of the common vole in crop fields (alfalfa, rape, cereals) is larger than in less‐cultivated habitats (forests, clearings, set‐aside) and is not related to food quality. Abstract BACKGROUND There is a close relationship between habitat, food and demographic parameters of common vole populations.

Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (TB) threatens cattle farming in England. Supplementing tuberculin skin testing with the interferon‐gamma blood test during TB incident (breakdown) management can enhance diagnostic sensitivity. We aimed to identify herds at greater risk of recurrence depending on their recent TB history to inform targeted ...

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 ...

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.

Mycobacterium avium Complex Disease
ABSTRACT Despite the ubiqitous nature of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) organisms in the environment, relatively few of those who are infected develop disease. Thus, some degree of susceptibility due to either underlying lung disease or immunosuppression is required.

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 ...

Solitary Pulmonary Mass due to Mycobacterium avium Infection in a Post‐Traumatic Lung: A Case Report
We report a case of solitary nodular Mycobacterium avium infection arising in a post‐traumatic lung. Chest CT showed a solid mass in the left lower lobe, and the diagnosis was established through thoracoscopic surgical resection. Graphical abstract image Figure 2C,D.
