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.

Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198—A Promising Strain for Studying Pathogenesis of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM‐PD)

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this review, we introduce a promising strain for studying pathogenesis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM‐PD), Mycobacterium intracellulare M.i.198. M.i.198 was isolated from a patient with progressive Mycobacterium avium‐intracellulare complex pulmonary disease (MAC‐PD) in whom surgical operation was required to ...

Genomic characterization of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
AbstractMycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae have remained, for many years, the primary species of the genus Mycobacterium of clinical and microbiological interest. The other members of the genus, referred to as nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), have long been underinvestigated.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Mycobacterium avium Complex Pulmonary Disease as a Clinical Signal of Host Vulnerability in Advanced Myelofibrosis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT An 82‐year‐old woman with JAK2‐mutated myelofibrosis who developed hemoptysis after initiation of ruxolitinib. She presented with anemia and ground‐glass opacities and was treated with antibiotics. She was readmitted with worsening respiratory symptoms. Sputum cultures yielded Mycobacterium avium.
