Polymorphic Clinical and Pathological Presentation of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria: A Case Series

Case Reports in Dermatological Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of mycobacteria widely distributed in the environment. They may cause cutaneous infections in immunocompromised and immunocompetent hosts. Clinical presentations can be significantly heterogeneous and are not species‐specific; moreover, histological features can vary, probably depending on host ...

Mycobacterium chelonae empyema in an immunocompetent patient [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2008
Thoracic empyema caused by rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) and complicated with bronchopleural fistula is rarely reported, especially in immunocompetent patients. A 53-year-old healthy woman presented initially with a productive cough and intermittent fever. The patient received a complete treatment course following an initial diagnosis of pulmonary

Temporal and Spatial Survey on the Abundance of Amoebae and Bacteria in an Estuary and the Role of Environmental Parameters

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Free‐living amoebae and bacteria were monitored along a salinity gradient over 1 year. Naegleria and Vibrio were the most represented genera, with salinity and dissolved oxygen identified as key factors structuring amoebae diversity and associated bacterial communities under changing environmental conditions.
