Characterizing Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria Infection in Bronchiectasis [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016
Chronic airway infection is a key aspect of the pathogenesis of bronchiectasis. A growing interest has been raised on non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection. We aimed at describing the clinical characteristics, diagnostic process, therapeutic options and outcomes of bronchiectasis patients with pulmonary NTM (pNTM) disease. This was a prospective,

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria in China

Scandinavian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2007
Infection with non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is relatively rare in areas that are high-endemic for tuberculosis. We identified 126 strains of NTM in respiratory specimens collected by the Chinese Nationwide Survey in 2000, the Beijing Tuberculosis and Thoracic Tumour Institution, and the Guangzhou Thoracic Hospital.

The antimicrobial susceptibility of non-tuberculous mycobacteria

Journal of Infection, 2016
Pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection (NTM) is a challenging and increasingly prevalent infection. Antimicrobial resistance is common and may be associated with poor outcomes. This retrospective study aimed to report longitudinal trends in mycobacterial isolation and NTM drug susceptibility.Mycobacterial culture and drug sensitivity testing

Lymphadenitis by non‐tuberculous mycobacteria in children

Pediatrics International, 2018
AbstractBackgroundNon‐tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) constitute an important cause of cervical lymphadenitis in immunocompetent children. The aims of this study were to estimate the incidence of lymphadenitis due to NTM in children in Cyprus and to describe the characteristics, diagnostic approach, management and outcome of such infections ...
