US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and European Cystic Fibrosis Society consensus recommendations for the management of non-tuberculous mycobacteria in individuals with cystic fibrosis [PDF]

, 2015
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous environmental organisms that can cause chronic pulmonary infection, particularly in individuals with preexisting inflammatory lung disease such as cystic fibrosis(CF).

An Unusual Case of a Cervical Mass Due to Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Fortuitum Infection [PDF]

The Permanente Journal, 2008
Mycobacterium fortuitum, of the class of nontuberculous mycobacteria, rarely causes cervical lymphadenopathy and head and neck masses. However, we treated a woman with a neck mass that was indeed caused by a mycobacterial infection. Our case is unique in that prompt recognition of the infection and treatment with antimicrobials averted surgery ...

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Pulmonary Infections with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Catalonia, Spain, 1994–2014

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
In Spain, systematic reporting of pulmonary infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria is not mandatory. Therefore, to determine trends, we retrospectively identified cases for January 1994–December 2014 in Catalonia.

Punicalagin Enhances Autophagy Through Sirtuin 1/FoxO3a Axis to Inhibit Intracellular Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Punicalagin, a pomegranate molecule, helps the body fight Mycobacterium abscessus. It preferentially boosts interstitial macrophages in the lung, stabilizing mitochondria and switching on the autophagy via SIRT1/FoxO3a, which lowers bacterial load without directly killing bacteria.

Laboratory Diagnosis of Mycobacterial Infections: New Tools and Lessons Learned [PDF]

, 2017
Even in the 21st century, tuberculosis continues to be a problem. Although the number of cases continues gradually to decrease in the United States, cases get more difficult to treat, specifically those that are multiple-drug resistant.

Fluorescent Nanodiamonds for Lateral Flow Assays Enhanced by Magnetic Modulation: From Synthesis to Application

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
This review examines the use of fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) in lateral flow assays (LFAs) for advanced diagnostics. FNDs offer superior photostability and biocompatibility compared to traditional labels. The review covers FND synthesis, and integration with detection systems to enhance performance.

Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Ocular Infections—Comparing the Clinical and Microbiological Characteristics between Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium massiliense

PLOS ONE, 2015
To analyze the clinical characteristics of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) ocular infections and the species-specific in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility.In 2000 to 2011 at the National Taiwan University Hospital, multilocus sequencing of rpoB, hsp65 and secA was used to identify NTM isolates from ocular infections.
