Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Infection and Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Antagonists [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
To the Editor: Mycobacterium haemophilum is an aerobic, slow-growing microorganism with optimal growth at 30°C to 32°C. It has a unique requirement for ferric iron–containing compounds (1), from which it acquired its name (i.e., haemophilum). Infections with M. haemophilum are rare, but cervicofacial lymphadenitis caused by M.

What Immunological Defects Predispose to Non-tuberculosis Mycobacterial Infections? [PDF]

, 2017
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are categorized as one of the large and diverse groups of environmental organisms which are abundant in water and soil.  NTM cause a variety of diseases in humans that mainly affect the lung.

Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme versus Pulsed-Field Gel Electrophoresis for Typing Mycobacterium abscessus Isolates [PDF]

, 2014
Outbreaks of infections by rapidly growing mycobacteria following invasive procedures, such as ophthalmological, laparoscopic, arthroscopic, plastic, and cardiac surgeries, mesotherapy, and vaccination, have been detected in Brazil since 1998. Members of

Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Infections in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

, 2012
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a large, diverse group of ubiquitous environmental organisms found in tap water, soil, dust, plants, animals, and food. NTM infection can cause various diseases, such as pulmonary disease (PD), which are most frequently observed in immunocompromised individuals.

Gallium β‐Cyclodextrin Nanoparticles Containing both Gallium Protoporphyrin and Gallium Nitrate Exhibit Antimicrobial Activity against Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Vitro and in Vivo

Advanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Cyclodextrin nanoparticle containing both Ga(NO3)3 and GaPP is synthesized and tested against non‐tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). The in vivo efficacy of the nanoparticle therapy is additionally tested by treating pulmonary NTM infections in mice and observed much greater effectiveness in bacterial clearance and survival of mice.

Punicalagin Enhances Autophagy Through Sirtuin 1/FoxO3a Axis to Inhibit Intracellular Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Punicalagin, a pomegranate molecule, helps the body fight Mycobacterium abscessus. It preferentially boosts interstitial macrophages in the lung, stabilizing mitochondria and switching on the autophagy via SIRT1/FoxO3a, which lowers bacterial load without directly killing bacteria.

Crossprotection against nontuberculous mycobacterial infections by Mycobacterium tuberculosis memory immune T lymphocytes. [PDF]

The Journal of experimental medicine, 1986
Adoptive immunization of T cell-deficient recipient mice with M. tuberculosis-specific memory immune T lymphocytes conferred upon these animals the ability to express significantly enhanced resistance both to the homologous infection, and to three strains of nontuberculous mycobacteria.
