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 ...

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
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.

State-of-the-art treatment strategies for nontuberculous mycobacteria infections
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2020Introduction Non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of organisms whose importance in medicine seems to be increasing in recent times. The increasing number of patients susceptible to these diseases make it necessary to expand our knowledge of ...

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infection After Autologous Fat Grafting for Cosmetic Breast Augmentation
Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2020Background Autologous fat grafting has been widely applied in cosmetic breast augmentation in recent years. However, nontuberculous mycobacteria infection, as one of the multiple complications described in the literature, has been less well discussed ...

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.

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
