Identification of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium and Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Sputum Patients with Suspected Tuberculosis

The International Journal of Mycobacteriology
Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is predominantly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and can also involve nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). These pathogens pose significant global health challenges, particularly in developing countries. Differentiating between MTBC and NTM in clinical specimens is often

Post-Laparoscopic Wound Infection Caused by Scotochromogenic Nontuberculous Mycobacterium

Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are known to produce soft-tissue infections following surgical procedures. We report a non-healing surgical wound infection caused by a scotochromogenic nontuberculous mycobacterium, possibly Mycobacterium flavescens, which was earlier thought to be saprophytic. This organism was isolated from the wound discharge at the site
