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

open access: yes, 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

Increasing Trend of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Isolation in a Referral Clinical Laboratory in South Korea

open access: yesMedicina, 2021
Background and Objectives: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections are increasing worldwide. We evaluated the annual trends of NTM isolation on acid-fast bacillus (AFB) culture, compared to that of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and the distribution of

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

open access: yes, 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

Distribution of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria strains [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2013
Mycobacteria other than tuberculosis (MOTT) cause increasingly serious infections especially in immunosuppressive patients by direct transmission from the environment or after colonization. However, identification of these species is difficult because of the cost and difficulties in defining to species level.
