Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare is the main driver of the rise in non-tuberculous mycobacteria incidence in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, 2007–2012 [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolation from humans is increasing worldwide. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland (EW&NI) the reported rate of NTM more than doubled between 1996 and 2006.

‘”Why me, why now?” Using clinical immunology and epidemiology to explain who gets nontuberculous mycobacterial infection [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease is rising. An understanding of known risk factors for disease sheds light on the immunological and physical barriers to infection, and how and why they may be overcome.

In vitro activity of bedaquiline against rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2017
Bedaquiline (BDQ) has been proven to be effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We hypothesized that BDQ could be a potential agent to treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate

Mycobacterium marinum infection of the hand presenting as a nodular skin lesion

Journal of Clinical Tuberculosis and Other Mycobacterial Diseases, 2020
Nontuberculous mycobacteria have emerged as an important group of pathogens worldwide; however, infections of the hand are rare. Infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria are often opportunistic in humans, and notoriously difficult to treat due to

Nontuberculous mycobacteria peri-prosthetic joint infection: An outcome analysis for two stage revision arthroplasty

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2022
Purpose Nontuberculous mycobacteria periprosthetic joint infection (NTMPJI) is a rare complication of hip or knee joint arthroplasty. The experience for outcomes of NTMPJI treatment is still limited.

Genetic diversity of nontuberculous mycobacteria among symptomatic tuberculosis negative patients in Kenya

International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2022
Background: Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) transmission to humans occurs through inhalation of dust particles or vaporized water containing NTM leading to pulmonary manifestations.

Infecções por micobactérias atípicas.

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 1999
The isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria was considered for many years as a result of contamination or transient colonization. The role of these bacteria in human disease was recognized only after 1950.

Rapid method for Mycobacterium tuberculosis identification using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry analysis of mycolic acids [PDF]

, 2013
Mycolic acids (MAs), which play a crucial role in the architecture of mycobacterial cell walls, were analyzed using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. A targeted analysis based on the 10 most abundant and characteristic multiple reaction
