The bacillary and macrophage response to hypoxia in tuberculosis and the consequences for T cell antigen recognition [PDF]

, 2016
M. tuberculosis is a facultative anaerobe and its characteristic pathological hallmark, the granuloma, exhibits hypoxia in humans and in most experimental models. Thus the host and bacillary adaptation to hypoxia is of central importance in understanding

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.

Pulmonary Disease Caused by Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria [PDF]

Respiration, 2016
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) include more than 160 ubiquitous, environmental, acid-fast-staining bacterial species, some of which may cause disease in humans. Chronic pulmonary infection is the most common clinical manifestation. Although patients suffering from chronic lung diseases are particularly susceptible to NTM pulmonary disease, many ...
