Mycobacterium chimaera Disseminated Infection. [PDF]

J Med Cases, 2020
The incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial disease is increasing due to enhanced clinician awareness and improved detection methods. The species identification using molecular microbiology techniques allows a better understanding of the differences in pathogenicity and treatment response.

Case report of the first cured patient with Mycobacterium Chimaera infection following cardiac valve replacement in the mainland of China [PDF]

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2021
Background Mycobacterium chimaera infections subsequent to cardiac surgery are related to contaminated heater-cooler devices, with high mortality. Nevertheless, few studies have been reported in Asia.

Heater cooler and Mycobacterium chimaera [PDF]

European Journal of Public Health, 2017
Mycobacterium chimaera (MC) was identified in some patients who underwent surgery operations. Literature has identified as possible means of contamination condensed water from heater-cooler devices (HCDs) which is aerosolized during operation. Manufactures of HCDs provide disinfection procedures in order to minimize the risk of contamination.

Characterization of a novel variant of Mycobacterium chimaera

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2012
In this study, nonchromogenic mycobacteria were isolated from pulmonary samples of three patients in the Netherlands. All isolates had identical, unique 16S rRNA gene and 16S-23S ITS sequences, which were closely related to those of Mycobacterium chimaera and Mycobacterium marseillense.
