Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex mycobacteria as amoeba-resistant organisms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Most environmental non-tuberculous mycobacteria have been demonstrated to invade amoebal trophozoites and cysts, but such relationships are largely unknown for members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.

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

, 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 ...

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria infection: 75 cases

Tuberkuloz ve Toraks, 2012
Non-tuberculosis mycobacterium is especially seen in AIDS and non-immunosuppressant patients. This study was designed to evaluate data relating to non-tuberculosis mycobacterium content in patients' sputum for the clinical importance.During 2009-2010 at Sureyyapasa Chest Diseases and Chest Surgery Training and Research Hospital clinics, 75 patients [30

B Cells Regulate Neutrophilia during Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection and BCG Vaccination by Modulating the Interleukin-17 Response [PDF]

, 2013
We have previously demonstrated that B cells can shape the immune response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, including the level of neutrophil infiltration and granulomatous inflammation at the site of infection. The present study examined the mechanisms by

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria in patients with bronchiectasis [PDF]

Thorax, 2005
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous environmental organisms. Patients with pre-existing lung damage are susceptible to NTM, but their prevalence in bronchiectasis is unknown. Distinguishing between lung colonisation and disease can be difficult.A prospective study of 100 patients with bronchiectasis was undertaken to evaluate the ...

Meningoencephalitis associated with non-tuberculous mycobacteria

BMJ Case Reports, 2009
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are fastidious, difficult organisms to identify, but are increasingly associated with human disease. We report a case of meningoencephalitis associated withMycobacterium malmoenseandMycobacterium interjectumco-isolation from cerebrospinal fluid.
