Cutaneous non‐tuberculous mycobacterial infections: A retrospective study of 94 cases from Germany
Summary Background Cutaneous non‐tuberculous mycobacterial infections (NTM) remain a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The aim of this study was to characterize cutaneous NTM infections in Germany over a 24‐year‐period. Patients and Methods 73 patients with cutaneous NTM infections diagnosed at 17 different German University Hospitals from 2000 ...

In vitro activity of bedaquiline against rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]
Bedaquiline (BDQ) has been proven to be effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We hypothesized that BDQ could be a potential agent to treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate

Acidic pH Restricts Non‐Tuberculous Mycobacteria Replication
Different nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species display unique replication profiles in acidic pH in vitro which correlates to their replication within human macrophages. Inhibition of the acidic environments within the macrophage enhances bacterial viability emphasising the role of acidic pH during NTM infections.

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolated from New Zealand soil environments : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Philosophy in Microbiology at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand [PDF]
There is little information on the diversity of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in New Zealand. This project has shown that diverse mycobacteria can be isolated from forest, pastoral and urban environments through the combined use of specialised ...

Clinical findings in relation to mortality in non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections : patients with Mycobacterium avium complex have better survival than patients with other mycobacteria [PDF]
We compared the clinical findings and survival in patients with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and other non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). A total of 167 adult non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients with at least one positive culture for ...
