A review of current and promising nontuberculous mycobacteria antibiotics.
Future Medicinal Chemistry, 2021Nontuberculous mycobacteria infections are a growing concern, and their incidence has been increasing worldwide in recent years. Current treatments are not necessarily useful because many were initially designed to work against other bacteria, such as ...

The nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), especially Mycobacterium avium complex, are being recognized with increasing frequency as clinical pathogens, not only as a cause of disseminated disease in patients with AIDS but also as a cause of chronic lung disease in patients without AIDS. These infections have traditionally been difficult and frustrating to

The nontuberculous mycobacteria are for the most part ubiquitous environmental organisms that only rarely cause disease in humans. Therefore, the normal host defense against these organisms must be quite robust, as exposure is universal and disease is rare.

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

Outbreaks of nontuberculous mycobacteria
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2017Purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to summarize the emerging literature on nontuberculous mycobacteria outbreaks in healthcare settings. As our ability to identify mycobacterial species develops, we are better able to recognize epidemiologic connections and better understand the prevalence and importance of these outbreaks and pseudo ...

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.

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

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.
