Clinically Relevant Metallic Nanoparticles in Tuberculosis Diagnosis and Therapy
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health challenge, with drug‐resistant strains exacerbating the issue. Metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) show promise in TB diagnosis as sensor probes and in combination therapy with antimycobacterial drugs, requiring further pre‐clinical and clinical research for clinical translation.

Studio di un nuovo algoritmo diagnostico per l’identificazione dei micobatteri non tubercolari (NTM) [PDF]
NTM (Non tuberculous mycobacteria) count more than 160 species, widely dispersed in the environment as saprophites, but they can cause severe infections in human.

Pulmonary Infection and Colonization with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Taiwan, 2000–2012
We analyzed samples from 13,652 patients who had respiratory cultures positive for mycobacteria in Taiwan during 2000–2012 and found that 56.9% were positive for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).

Anomalies in T cell function are associated with individuals at risk of mycobacterium abscessus complex infection [PDF]
The increasing global incidence and prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection is of growing concern. New evidence of person-to-person transmission of multidrug-resistant NTM adds to the global concern.

Fifty thiourea derivatives are synthesized and evaluated against Mycobacterium kansasii. Compounds 2, 47, and 49 demonstrate potent extra‐ and intracellular activity without causing macrophage cytotoxicity, even against the hypervirulent strains. Structure–activity relationships and in silico analyses highlight favorable molecular features and predict ...
