Ecology of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are opportunistic human pathogens that are widespread in the human environment. In fact, NTM surround humans. The basis for their widespread presence in soils and natural and human-engineered waters lies primarily in ...

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria [PDF]

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 2011
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is the most common nontuberculous mycobacterial pathogen in Japan. There are 2 major types of clinical manifestations of MAC disease, including fibrocavitary disease and nodular bronchiectatic disease. Primary treatment of MAC disease is medical treatment.

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Zambia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
Clinical relevance of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolated from 180 chronically ill patients and 385 healthy controls in Zambia was evaluated to examine the contribution of these isolates to tuberculosis (TB)–like disease.

T-Cell Exhaustion in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infection: Pathophysiology and Therapeutic Perspectives

Microorganisms, 2021
Immune exhaustion is a condition associated with chronic infections and cancers, characterized by the inability of antigen-specific T cells to eliminate the cognate antigen. Exhausted T cells display a peculiar phenotypic profile and exclusive functional

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria from Household Plumbing of Patients with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Disease

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
To determine whether plumbing could be a source of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection, during 2007–2009 I isolated NTM from samples from household water systems of NTM patients. Samples from 22/37 (59%) households and 109/394 (28%) total samples
