MptpB Inhibitor Improves the Action of Antibiotics against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacterium avium Infections

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

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 ...
