Balancing Building Water Conservation and Microbial Water Quality

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Flow restrictors are widely used to improve water efficiency by limiting flow rates in faucets and showerheads. While these devices contribute to significant reductions in water consumption and associated energy costs, they may also pose unintended risks to microbial water quality. In healthcare and other high‐risk settings, reduced flow rates

Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare brain abscess in HIV-positive patient

Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, 2012
Mycobacterial opportunistic infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients living with HIV (PLHIV) worldwide. Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection is one of the leading causes of opportunistic infection in patients with ...

Mycobacterium avium Possesses Extracellular DNA that Contributes to Biofilm Formation, Structural Integrity, and Tolerance to Antibiotics. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis is an opportunistic pathogen that is associated with biofilm-related infections of the respiratory tract and is difficult to treat. In recent years, extracellular DNA (eDNA) has been found to be a major component of

Gaining insights into MmpL3: combining structural and computational approaches to unlock transport and inhibitor‐binding mechanisms

Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 550-570, May 2026.
This study investigates the mycobacterial membrane protein MmpL3, a key target for new antituberculosis drugs, by combining high‐resolution crystallography and computational simulations. It reveals how the inhibitor UPAR‐1109 binds to MmpL3, providing detailed insights into the function and flexibility of the protein and supporting the rational design ...

The Role of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Advanced Lung Disease

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Among 270 cystic fibrosis patients, 20.7% were NTM‐positive and had a lower pre‐transplant risk of death or lung transplantation but higher post‐transplant mortality, with no difference in CLAD incidence. These results suggest NTM infection should not be an absolute contraindication to lung transplantation, though careful individual risk assessment is ...

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 14, 10 April 2026.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

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.

Serial and Parallel Testing Strategies for Johne's Disease: Effects on Milk Production Traits and Milk Income on New Zealand Dairy Cattle

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
The suboptimal accuracy of current diagnostic tests necessitates alternative testing strategies to improve the detection of Johne's disease. We studied parallel and serial testing strategies to quantify the association between milk production and Johne's disease status. For this, two commercial Johne's disease Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay, ELISAs,

Emerging role of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing in infectious disease diagnostics: Clinical integration and future directions

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 148-163, April 2026.
Abstract Infectious disease diagnostics has been transformed by metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS), an unbiased approach that detects bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in a single assay. By sequencing all nucleic acids in a sample, mNGS overcomes the narrow detection scope and slow turnaround of conventional tests, substantially ...
