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 their disinfectant resistance, biofilm formation, and adaptability to fluctuating environmental ...

The Role of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis Advanced Lung Disease. [PDF]

Transpl Infect Dis
Among 270 cystic fibrosis patients, 20.7% were NTM‐positive and had a lower pre‐transplant risk of death or lung transplantation but higher post‐transplant mortality, with no difference in CLAD incidence. These results suggest NTM infection should not be an absolute contraindication to lung transplantation, though careful individual risk assessment is ...

Identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria isolated from household showerheads of patients with nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractThis study aimed to examine whether nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) inside household showerheads are identical to those in patients with NTM-pulmonary disease (PD) since household water is one of the potential NTM sources. Samples were obtained from 32 household showerheads of patients with NTM-PD recruited through the Pulmonary Outpatient ...

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. The proportion of NTM-positive sputum samples was significantly higher in the patient group than in controls; 11% and 6 ...

Emerging insights into CC and CXC chemokines and their receptors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The dual roles of CC and CXC chemokines in distinguishing active, latent, and subclinical tuberculosis were reviewed, along with an evaluation of their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets to advance precision medicine in tuberculosis management. The graphical abstract was generated with AI assistance (Gemini 3.0).

Secondary Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis Associated With Ruxolitinib After Bone‐Marrow Transplantation: A Case With Transient Improvement Following Drug Discontinuation

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Secondary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) may occur in patients receiving ruxolitinib for steroid‐refractory GVHD after bone marrow transplantation. In this case, a 47‐year‐old woman developed respiratory failure 8 months after commencing ruxolitinib therapy, and initial radiological and clinical improvements occurred after drug withdrawal, prior ...

Genomic characterization of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractMycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae have remained, for many years, the primary species of the genus Mycobacterium of clinical and microbiological interest. The other members of the genus, referred to as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), have long been underinvestigated.

Severe Occupational Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis: A Case Series of Four Patients Requiring Lung Transplantation

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page 323-334, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an immune‐mediated interstitial lung disease triggered by repeated inhalation of organic or chemical antigens. Occupational exposures account for approximately 19% of all cases. Early diagnosis, identification of the responsible antigen(s), and immediate avoidance of exposure are crucial to prevent ...
