Uric acid utilization by Mycobacterium intracellulare and Mycobacterium scrofulaceum isolates [PDF]
Forty-nine human and environmental isolates of Mycobacterium intracellulare and Mycobacterium scrofulaceum were tested for their ability to grow on uric acid and a number of its degradation products. Nearly all (88 to 90%) strains used uric acid or allantoin as a sole nitrogen source; fewer (47 to 69%) used allantoate, urea, or possibly ...

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

Dry pleurisy complicating solitary pulmonary nodules caused by Mycobacterium avium: a case report [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease presenting as a solitary pulmonary nodule (MAC-SPN) is often asymptomatic, is more common in middle to old age, and mimics lung cancer or tuberculoma.

Growth on blood agar discriminates Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare [PDF]
Mycobacterium intracellulare and Mycobacterium avium (MAC) require specialized culture and identification procedures. To simplify the diagnosis, we inoculated reference strains, and 85 M. avium and 12 M. intracellulare clinical isolates, on egg-based and sheep blood agar.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial empyema in an immunocompetent child
Nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species are mycobacterial species other than those belonging to the Mycobacterium Tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium leprae. There are very few reports of NTM in immunocompetent children causing empyema.

General Overview on Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Biofilms, and Human Infection [PDF]
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emergent pathogens whose importance in human health has been growing. After being regarded mainly as etiological agents of opportunist infections in HIV patients, they have also been recognized as etiological agents ...

Intracellular pH regulation by Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium bovis BCG [PDF]
Mycobacteria are likely to encounter acidic pH in the environments they inhabit; however intracellular pH homeostasis has not been investigated in these bacteria. In this study, Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium bovis [Bacille Calmette--Guérin (BCG)] were used as examples of fast- and slow-growing mycobacteria, respectively, to study ...

Computational Framework for High Copy‐Number Probe Selection and Cross‐Binding Reduction
ABSTRACT DNA probe design plays a critical role in biosensor‐based disease diagnostics, gene expression analysis and environmental monitoring. Traditional probe designs primarily target lower‐copy genetic sequences, often leading to low detection sensitivity due to limited hybridization events.

Actinomyces and Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare are facultative intracellular organisms, members of the bacterial order actinomycetales. Although Actinomyces can behave as copathogen when anatomic barriers are compromised, its coinfection with ...
