Evaluation of MALDI Biotyper Interpretation Criteria for Accurate Identification of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2020
Identification of mycobacteria by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) requires not only a good protein extraction protocol but also an adequate cutoff score in order to provide reliable results. The

Observation‐Only Management of Cervicofacial Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lymphadenitis in Children

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 2, Page 977-982, February 2026.
This is a retrospective study of immunocompetent children with nontuberculous mycobacterial cervicofacial lymphadenitis who were managed by observation. Kaplan–Meier‐estimated cumulative resolution was 82.8% by 12 months. Observation may be a safe, effective alternative to surgical excision for selected patients.

Antimycobacterial Susceptibility Testing of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2019
Recommendations for first-line and second-line drug testing and organism group, specific methodologies, and reporting recommendations have been addressed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and are important in the selection of ...

Tap Water Avoidance Decreases Rates of Hospital-Onset Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacteria.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
We analyzed the impact of a hospital tap water avoidance protocol on respiratory isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). After protocol implementation, hospital-onset episodes of respiratory NTM isolation on high risk units decreased from 41.0 to

Efficacy and Mechanisms of Flavonoids against the Emerging Opportunistic Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

Antibiotics, 2020
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are the causative agent of severe chronic pulmonary diseases and is accountable for post-traumatic wound infections, lymphadenitis, endometritis, cutaneous, eye infections and disseminated diseases.

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.

Biomaterial Strategies for Targeted Intracellular Delivery to Phagocytes

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.
Phagocytes are essential to a functional immune system, and their behavior defines disease outcomes. Engineered particles offer a strategic opportunity to target phagocytes, harnessing inflammatory modulation in disease. By tuning features like size, shape, and surface, these systems can modulate immune responses and improve targeted treatment for a ...

Efflux Pump Inhibitors against Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Over the last years, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as important human pathogens. Infections caused by NTM are often difficult to treat due to an intrinsic multidrug resistance for the presence of a lipid-rich outer membrane, thus ...

Punicalagin Enhances Autophagy Through Sirtuin 1/FoxO3a Axis to Inhibit Intracellular Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 2, 9 January 2026.
Punicalagin, a pomegranate molecule, helps the body fight Mycobacterium abscessus. It preferentially boosts interstitial macrophages in the lung, stabilizing mitochondria and switching on the autophagy via SIRT1/FoxO3a, which lowers bacterial load without directly killing bacteria.
