An immunocompromised dialysis patient with skin and bone lesions [PDF]

, 2010
Patients with chronic kidney failure have disturbances of immune function involving both innate and adaptive systems. These result in both immunodepression which increases susceptibility to infection and immunoactivation leading to a chronic inflammatory

Growing from common ground: nontuberculous mycobacteria and bronchiectasis

European Respiratory Review
Bronchiectasis and nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are intricately intertwined, with NTM capable of being both a cause and consequence of bronchiectatic disease.

Detection, Isolation, and Identification of Mycobacteria That Cause Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease and Tuberculosis

Pathogens
Pulmonary diseases caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria are increasingly becoming common worldwide and are occurring more frequently alongside pulmonary tuberculosis. Given that pulmonary diseases resulting from nontuberculous mycobacteria and pulmonary

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.

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.
