A sero-epidemiological approach to explore transmission of Mycobacterium ulcerans [PDF]

, 2016
The debilitating skin disease Buruli ulcer (BU) is caused by infection with Mycobacterium ulcerans. While various hypotheses on potential reservoirs and vectors of M. ulcerans exist, the mode of transmission has remained unclear.

Cutaneous infection with Mycobacterium obuense

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2018
This report describes the presence of cutaneous nodules and ulceration of the right leg of 1-year duration in an elderly woman. Prior biopsies had demonstrated dermal and subcutaneous granulomatous inflammation. Special stains for microorganisms and cultures were repeatedly negative. Polymerase chain reaction evaluation of the tissue block demonstrated

Pacemaker pocket infection due to Mycobacterium abscessus subspecies abscessus: A Case Report and Literature Review [PDF]

Medical Laboratory Journal
Background: Mycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacterium that can cause various infections in humans. The identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria remains a challenge to date due to the availability of limited resources.

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria enhance the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway to induce immunosuppression and facilitate pulmonary colonization

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
The increasing prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) infections alongside tuberculosis (TB) underscores a pressing public health challenge. Yet, the mechanisms governing their infection within the lung remain poorly understood.

Detection and Molecular Characterization of 9000-Year-Old Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a Neolithic Settlement in the Eastern Mediterranean

, 2008
Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the principal etiologic agent of human tuberculosis. It has no environmental reservoir and is believed to have co-evolved with its host over millennia.

Evaluation of nucleotide MALDI-TOF-MS for the identification of Mycobacterium species

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
BackgroundThe accurate identification of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and different nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species is crucial for the timely diagnosis of NTM infections and for reducing poor prognoses.

Genetic characterization of Mycobacterium avium isolates recovered from humans and animals in Australia

, 1996
Genetic relationships amongst 115 mainly Australian isolates of Mycobacterium avium were assessed using multilocus enzyme electrophoresis (MEE). The isolates were divided into 58 electrophoretic types (ETs), with a mean genetic diversity of 0·29 ...

Flow cytometric detection of gamma interferon can effectively discriminate Mycobacterium bovis BCG-vaccinated cattle from M. bovis-infected cattle

, 2006
Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a disease that is increasing in incidence in United Kingdom cattle herds. In addition to increasing economic losses, the rise in bovine tuberculosis poses a human health risk. There is an
