Infection with nontuberculous mycobacterium after injection of adulterated silicone fluid [PDF]
Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2004 A 57-year-old woman presented with a predominantly right-sided cellulitic area of her buttock after receiving multiple bilateral silicone injections in the buttocks. The workup revealed subcutaneous infection with rapidly growing mycobacteria. Surgical management and etiologic factors are discussed, and a review of the literature is presented.

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

General Overview on Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Biofilms, and Human Infection [PDF]
, 2015 Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emergent pathogens whose importance in human health has been growing. After being regarded mainly as etiological agents of opportunist infections in HIV patients, they have also been recognized as etiological agents ...

ACS Infectious Diseases, 2023 Treatment of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium avium infections requires multiple drugs for long time periods. Mycobacterium protein-tyrosine-phosphatase B (MptpB) is a key M. tuberculosis virulence factor that subverts host antimicrobial activity to promote intracellular survival. Inhibition of MptpB reduces the infection burden in vivo and

Nontuberculous mycobacterium infection in a burn ICU patient
Burns, 2010 Abstract : Infection is a leading cause of mortality in burn patients, typically due to bacterial pathogens such as staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, less commonly fungi, and possibly viruses. In non burn patients with underlying pulmonary or cutaneous diseases, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have become an increasingly recognized ...

"Why me, why now?" Using clinical immunology and epidemiology to explain who gets nontuberculous mycobacterial infection [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease is rising. An understanding of known risk factors for disease sheds light on the immunological and physical barriers to infection, and how and why they may be overcome.
