Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Diseases Caused by Mixed Infection with Mycobacterium avium Complex and Mycobacterium abscessus Complex [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2018
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and M. abscessus complex (MABC) comprise the two most important human pathogen groups causing nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD). However, there are limited data regarding NTM-LD caused by mixed NTM infections.

Infections due to Mycobacterium leprae and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

DeckerMed Medicine, 2011
Mycobacterium leprae infection (i.e., leprosy) is a disease that has been recognized—and often misunderstood—since ancient times. The emergence of HIV/AIDS and the development of newer culture methodologies and molecular diagnostic tools have brought about increased interest in the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of human infections from ...

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.

Molecular Characterization and Antibiograms of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Infections in Kashgar, China

Current Microbiology
To investigate the prevalent characteristic of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolates in Kashgar. A total of 52 NTM culture-positive isolates were collected in 2020 from Kashgar, China. All strains were confirmed to be NTM species by whole genome sequencing (WGS). Drug susceptibility testing was performed using Sensititre SLOMYCO plates.

[Nontuberculous mycobacterial infection after tattooing caused by Mycobacterium chelonae].

Dermatologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2023
We report the case of a healthy young man who presented to our clinic with itchy skin lesions in the area of a tattoo on the back of the left hand. Bioptic and cultural confirmation of the pathogens led to the diagnosis of Mycobacterium chelonae infection. We initiated antibiotic therapy using azithromycin and linezolid with good response.

Nontuberculous Mycobacterium, Myobacterium and Mixed Pulmonary Infections: A Case Report

The Bangkok Medical Journal, 2015
In the 1980’s, nontuberculous myobacteria (NTM) was recognized as the common cause of disseminated infection in patients who were severely immunocompromised. In Thailand, a study was reported where almost half of the disseminated NTM infections in HIV negative cases were related to farming.

Mycobacterium Infections in Rheumatoid Arthritis (Tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacteriosis)

2018
Biological agents have had a tremendous effect in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, subsequent infection is regarded as an emerging problem owing to the suppression of host immunity by these agents. Cellular immunity with T lymphocytes plays a crucial role in host defense against mycobacterial infections; hence, immunosuppression ...
