Mycobacterium chelonae osteomyelitis presenting as a mycobacterial spindle cell pseudotumor
International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2018 We report a case of an 88-year-old man with osteomyelitis of the right ankle, with histopathology demonstrating a Mycobacterium spindle cell pseudotumor. The Mycobacterium contained in this spindle cell pseudotumor was Mycobacterium chelonae. M. chelonae

MicroMagnify: A Multiplexed Expansion Microscopy Method for Pathogens and Infected Tissues
Advanced Science, Volume 10, Issue 30, October 26, 2023., 2023 MicroMagnify (µMagnify), a new multiplexed expansion microscopy method optimized for pathogens and infected tissues. It enables up to eightfold expansion factor through a robust homogenization process, which is highly compatible with different types of pathogen‐related samples, from planktonic bacteria to infected formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded ...
