In vitro activity of bedaquiline against rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2017
Bedaquiline (BDQ) has been proven to be effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We hypothesized that BDQ could be a potential agent to treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate

An immunocompromised dialysis patient with skin and bone lesions [PDF]

, 2010
Patients with chronic kidney failure have disturbances of immune function involving both innate and adaptive systems. These result in both immunodepression which increases susceptibility to infection and immunoactivation leading to a chronic inflammatory

Differential identification of Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonei [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1981
Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium chelonei are distinguished unambiguously by the combined use of five test characters: nitrate reductase, beta-glucosidase, acid production from fructose, penicillinase, and trehalase. Typically, M. fortuitum was nitrate reductase positive, beta-glucosidase positive; M.
