Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Human Macrophages During Mycobacterium avium Versus Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Human macrophage transcriptomic responses to Mycobacterium avium (Mav), a major cause of nontuberculous lung disease, were compared to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Both infections activated overlapping immune pathways, including cytokine signaling and GPCRs involved in lipid metabolism, while phospholipases were more strongly regulated by Mav and ...

Evaluating the Sensitivity of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Species Isolated from Water Samples to Conventional Antimycobacterial Drugs using E-Test Method

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2012
Background: Nontuberculous mycobacteria were only known as environmental bacteria. However, they have recently been identified as important pathogens due to the increased prevalence of immunodeficiency diseases.

Patients at risk of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease who need testing evaluated using a modified Delphi process by European experts

ERJ Open Research
Background Identifying patients at risk of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is challenging. Delays in NTM-PD identification and management are associated with declining lung function and increased morbidity and mortality.

A Case Report on Disseminated Mycobacterium avium Complex Infection in an Otherwise Healthy Individual—A Diagnostic Challenge

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection can mimic tuberculosis (TB) in immunocompetent individuals, leading to diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Clinicians should consider nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in patients unresponsive to anti‐tubercular therapy (ATT), especially in endemic regions.

Why a Mycobacterium Avium Infected Patient Showed a Positive Xpert MTB/RIF Result?

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This article discusses whether a MAC infected patient with a positive Xpert MTB/RIF test has a co‐infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The patient presented with chronic, indolent pulmonary patchy shadows on imaging but lacked typical symptoms. The MTB antigen‐specific interferon‐gamma enzyme‐linked immunospot assay (T‐SPOT.TB) was

US Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and European Cystic Fibrosis Society consensus recommendations for the management of non-tuberculous mycobacteria in individuals with cystic fibrosis [PDF]

, 2015
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous environmental organisms that can cause chronic pulmonary infection, particularly in individuals with preexisting inflammatory lung disease such as cystic fibrosis(CF).
