Surface-Shaving Proteomics of Mycobacterium marinum Identifies Biofilm Subtype-Specific Changes Affecting Virulence, Tolerance, and Persistence

mSystems, 2021
Mycobacteria are naturally resilient, and mycobacterial infections are notoriously difficult to treat with antibiotics, with biofilm formation being the main factor complicating the successful treatment of tuberculosis (TB).

Rare enough ? Cardiac Device‐related pocket Infection due to Mycobacterium fortuitum

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are rare causes of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)‐related infections and may lead to device‐related endocarditis, so preventing them is key. We present a case of CIED‐related pocket infection due to Mycobacterium

Pulmonary Infection Caused by an Unusual, Slowly Growing Nontuberculous Mycobacterium [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2001
ABSTRACT Mycobacterium triplex , a recently described slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, was isolated from a Finnish patient with pulmonary mycobacteriosis. The disease was successfully treated with antimycobacterial drugs.

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Post-Laparoscopic Wound Infection Caused by Scotochromogenic Nontuberculous Mycobacterium

Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are known to produce soft-tissue infections following surgical procedures. We report a non-healing surgical wound infection caused by a scotochromogenic nontuberculous mycobacterium, possibly Mycobacterium flavescens, which was earlier thought to be saprophytic. This organism was isolated from the wound discharge at the site

Skin and soft tissue infection of Nontuberculous mycobacterium after injection lipolysis

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023
AbstractBackgroundInjection lipolysis is used for body and face contouring due to its minimal invasiveness and cost‐effectiveness, but related complications such as nontuberculous mycobacterium infection significantly affect its clinical application.AimsThis study aimed to review the literature on NTM infection after injection lipolysis.MethodsWe ...

[Nontuberculous Mycobacterium pulmonary infection with pleural effusion caused by Mycobacterium kansasii].

Kekkaku : [Tuberculosis], 1993
A 28 year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of fever, cough and chest pain. A chest X-ray film taken on admission showed infiltrate in the left upper lung field with ipsilateral pleural effusion. Microscopical examinations of stained specimens of sputa and pleural effusions disclosed no acid-fast bacilli.
