Water and nontuberculous mycobacteria
Water Research, 1999Abstract The atypical mycobacteria or nontuberculous mycobacteria differ from tuberculous mycobacteria (M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum) because most of them are ubiquitous and saprophytic. A few are considered potential human pathogens: M. avium, M. intracellulare, M. chelonae, M. kansasii, M. marinum, M. fortuituma and M. ulcerans.

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.

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 Cystic Fibrosis
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019AbstractOver the past decade, the incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection has been increasing in cystic fibrosis patients. Along with this have come a host of complications and burdens to patients that threaten longevity and quality of life.

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Cystic Fibrosis
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2018AbstractNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) can cause chronic pulmonary infection in susceptible hosts. Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), a multisystem disease predominated by progressive structural lung disease, are particularly vulnerable. Only recently have NTM been recognized for their potential to cause lung deterioration in CF patients.

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 in Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2003 Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are widely distributed in our modern environment. Therefore, it is not surprising that these organisms are commonly present in sputum from cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. In the setting of CF lung disease, the significance of NTM in respiratory secretions is a major diagnostic challenge.

Molecular Epidemiology of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
Future Microbiology, 2009The emergence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) as important environmental pathogens has stimulated the search for molecular markers to identify NTM sources, determine virulence mechanisms and describe their population structure. The availability of genome sequence data for a number of NTM isolates has permitted a more definitive approach to ...

Pulmonary Infection with Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1988Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections (NTM) are being increasingly recognized as a cause of chronic pulmonary disease. We recently reviewed the clinical, radiologic, and bacteriologic presentation of 89 adult patients ill enough to have been hospitalized between 1981 and 1985 with the diagnosis of NTM.

Molecular Typing of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
2012The nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) constitute a genetically diverse group of species generally found in the (man-made) environment. Although they are frequently isolated from clinical specimens and particularly from sputum, their clinical importance is often debatable. However, in immune compromised and sometimes apparently immune competent patients
