Diagnosis of Mycobacteriosis in Cultured Hybrid Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) in Trinidad and Tobago
ABSTRACT Mycobacteriosis is a significant disease in fish husbandry, with negative impacts on production facilities. Moreover, some Mycobacterium spp. that infect fish have zoonotic potential. Morbidity and mortality events at hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) farms in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) associated with mycobacterial infections prompted a ...

Mycobacterium fortuitum Infections in Surgical Wounds [PDF]
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), which include Mycobacterium fortuitum and M chelonae are rapidly growing mycobacteria, widely distributed in nature having been isolated from natural water, tap water, soil and water used in showers and surgical solutions [1].

The Role of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Advanced Lung Disease
Among 270 cystic fibrosis patients, 20.7% were NTM‐positive and had a lower pre‐transplant risk of death or lung transplantation but higher post‐transplant mortality, with no difference in CLAD incidence. These results suggest NTM infection should not be an absolute contraindication to lung transplantation, though careful individual risk assessment is ...
