Sulfonamide Activity Against Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonei

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1981
Forty-eight clinical strains of Mycobacterium fortuitum and 15 clinical strains of Mycobacterium chelonei were evaluated for susceptibility to sulfonamides, including trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ). Sensitivity tests were carried out with use of agar dilutions in Mueller-Hinton agar and a plate inoculum of 10(2) cfu.

Mycobacterium fortuitum Infection of Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt

Southern Medical Journal, 1999
Mycobacterium fortuitum is one of the rapidly growing mycobacteria found in soil, dust, and water. It can be isolated as a normal colonizing organism, but as a pathogen this organism causes mainly skin and soft tissue infection preceded by trauma. A wide variety of infections can occur in individuals with predisposing conditions. Central nervous system

Biochemistry, 1992
Mycobacterium fortuitum, biovar, fortuitum, the cause of serious skin and soft-tissue infections, can be differentiated from M. fortuitum, biovar. peregrinum, and other rapidly growing opportunistic mycobacteria by the presence of a unique antigenic glycolipid.

Murine infection model for Mycobacterium fortuitum

Microbes and Infection, 2005
Mycobacterium fortuitum is an atypical, non-tubercular, pathogenic, rapidly growing mycobacteria. As very little is known about its virulence determinants, the absence of an animal infection model was always sorely felt. A reliable and reproducible murine infection model has been developed in which non-replicating persistence of 10(5) CFU/g tissue in ...

Numerical Taxonomy of Mycobacterium fortuitum

Japanese Journal of Microbiology, 1967
ABSTRACTForty‐nine strains of Mycobacterium fortuitum, three strains named M. runyonii and three rapid‐growers from sputa of patients with pulmonary disease were subjected to numerical classification based upon 101 characters. Fifty strains formed a large cluster and were considered to belong to M. fortuitum.

Pacemaker infection due to Mycobacterium fortuitum

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2005
Pacemaker infection with Mycobacterium fortuitum has not been reported previously. We describe a case of pacemaker generator pocket infection and intravascular lead endocarditis due to Mycobacterium fortuitum. The entire pacing system was removed and the patient was treated successfully with a multidrug regimen for a total of 6 months.
