Diagnostic Utility of a Mycobacterium Multiplex PCR Detection Panel for Tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Infections

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Species identification is important for the diagnosis of mycobacterial infections and decisions on treatment regimens. The Myco-Panel test accurately detects clinically common mycobacterial species that cause respiratory infections from clinical respiratory samples and mycobacterial suspensions.

Port-site Infections by Nontuberculous Mycobacterium: A Retrospective Clinico-Microbiological Study

The International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2017
Background: Port-site infection (PSI) is a prevailing, chronic, nagging, treatment refractory complication of laparoscopic surgery (LS). It neutralizes the advantages of minimally invasive surgery and increases morbidity, treatment cost of patient, leading to loss of confidence on operating surgeon.

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.

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.

Nontuberculous mycobacterium M. avium infection predisposes aged mice to cardiac abnormalities and inflammation [PDF]

Aging Cell, 2019
AbstractBiological aging dynamically alters normal immune and cardiac function, favoring the production of pro‐inflammatory cytokines (IL‐1β, IL‐6, and TNF‐α) and increased instances of cardiac distress. Cardiac failure is the primary reason for hospitalization of the elderly (65+ years).

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.
