Lung infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria
Radiología (English Edition), 2023To describe the epidemiology and CT findings for nontuberculous mycobacterial lung infections and outcomes depending on the treatment.We retrospectively studied 131 consecutive patients with positive cultures for nontuberculous mycobacteria between 2005 and 2016. We selected those who met the criteria for nontuberculous mycobacterial lung infection. We

Clinical Manifestations of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
2006Tuberculosis and leprosy have been widely recognized for over 2000 years and their causative organisms were identifi ed in the nineteenth century when microscopy fi rst became available. In contrast, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), also known as atypical mycobacteria or mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MOTT), were not widely ...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in the environment
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2002It is likely that the incidence of infection by environmental opportunistic mycobacteria will continue to rise. Part of the rise will be caused by the increased awareness of these microbes as human pathogens and improvements in methods of detection and culture.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2021Purpose of review Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are challenging infections among people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) as the source, modes of transmission, and best practices for diagnosis and treatment are not known. Investigators have defined aspects of NTM infection that are unique to the CF population, as well as features

Treatment of Other Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2018AbstractNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are numerous, and for the vast majority of them, randomized studies are lacking and data regarding optimal treatment are limited. When Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and M. abscessus are excluded, the main NTM are M. xenopi, M. kansasii, M. malmoense, M. szulgai, and M. simiae. Treatment is long (at least 12

Laboratory diagnosis of nontuberculous mycobacteria
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2002In conclusion, it is important to realize that there is no "stand alone" assay for the identification of NTM. Many new species may not be recognized in all assays. Newer molecular tests are more accurate for identification than phenotypic tests and have significantly improved turnaround time.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2002The incidence of NTM pulmonary infections increasingly is recognized in patients with CF. This may reflect the increasing longevity of this population with increased environmental exposure time, a high index of suspicion, and/or some as of yet unidentified predisposing factor(s). The most common species of NTM in CF is MAC, followed by M.

Pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacteria infections
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2002M avium is a microorganism well adapted to living in the environment and in different hosts. During the past 15 years, a substantial amount of information has been accumulated about the mechanisms used by M avium to cross the host's mucosal barrier, replicate inside cells, circumvent the host's immune response, and persist inside the host. It turns out

Nontuberculous mycobacteria are identified in almost half of the cultures reported positive for mycobacteria in clinical laboratories in the United States. While many represent saprophytic colonization or laboratory contamination, a significant number of these organisms are the agents of disease.
