Serodiagnosis of Mycobacterium abscessus complex infection in cystic fibrosis [PDF]
, 2015 Early signs of pulmonary disease with Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC) can be missed in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). A serological method could help stratify patients according to risk. The objective of this study was to test the diagnostic

"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.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria and bronchiectasis
Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. Medical Sciences, 2021 Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease is an emerging multidisciplinary problem during the last decades, despite the lack of epidemiological data in most countries, including the Republic of Moldova. An increasing interest has been observed in evaluating nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in patients with bronchiectasis, although the dilemma of ...

Environmental mycobacteria – Future directions
International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2015 Understanding environmental mycobacteria and the diseases they cause is woefully lacking. The number of species, their ubiquity in nature and the heterogeneity of their effects on their human hosts have made this a formidable task. Diagnosis is difficult.

The Many Lives of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2018 ABSTRACT Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) include species that colonize human epithelia, as well as species that are ubiquitous in soil and aquatic environments. NTM that primarily inhabit soil and aquatic environments include the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) ( M. avium and

Transplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.Posttransplant Mycobacterium abscessus infection occurred in 53% of patients with pretransplant infection. While pretransplant infection itself was not associated with impaired survival, both failure to achieve microbiological eradication before transplant and persistent posttransplant disease were linked to increased mortality.
