Epidemiology and laboratory detection of non-tuberculous mycobacteria. [PDF]

Heliyon, 2023
The global incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections is on the rise. This study systematically searched several databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and two Chinese libraries (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang) to identify relevant published between 2013 and 2023 related to the isolation of ...

Identification and characterization of non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolated from tuberculosis suspects in Southern-central China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)-related death has increased globally recently. To obtain information of the species and characterization of pathogens involved in NTM pulmonary infection in Southern-central China, we identified 160 non-

Risk of zoonoses involving slow-growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria: Survey of antimicrobial resistance among strains from domestic and wild animals

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance, 2023
: Objectives: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are opportunistic pathogens that cause disease mainly in immunocompromised hosts. The present study assessed the prevalence of antibiotic resistance among such mycobacteria from domestic and wild animals in ...

Vertebral osteomyelitis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2004
Vertebral osteomyelitis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria is a rare disease, with only 31 cases and one nosocomial outbreak reported in the literature (MedLine review between 1965 and December 2003). The clinical features are often indistinguishable from those of pyogenic osteomyelitis.

Characterizing Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria Infection in Bronchiectasis [PDF]

International 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,

Incidence of tuberculous and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, differentiated by multiplex PCR, in clinical specimens of a large general hospital

Clinics, 2013
OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and non-tuberculous mycobacterial isolates in the routine setting of a large general hospital using an "in-house" multiplex polymerase chain reaction method and to establish a ...

Genomic insights into the plasmidome of non-tuberculous mycobacteria. [PDF]

Genome Med
Abstract Background Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a diverse group of environmental bacteria that are increasingly associated with human infections and difficult to treat. Plasmids, which might carry resistance and virulence factors, remain largely unexplored in NTM. Methods

Antimicrobial resistance mechanisms in non-tuberculous mycobacteria. [PDF]

Folia Microbiol (Praha)
Abstract Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are pathogens that are widely distributed in the environment and cause increasing rates of human infections. High levels of antimicrobial resistance shown by these bacteria complicate infection management and limit treatment options.
