Interdisciplinary Journal of Epidemiology and Public Health, 2021 Introduction: Pulmonary disease produced by nontuberculous mycobacteria and pulmonary tuberculosis can share clinical signs and symptoms. It is important to discern one from the other in order to provide the proper treatment and programmatic management.

Identification of Antigens Specific to Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria: The Mce Family of Proteins as a Target of T Cell Immune Responses [PDF]
, 2011 The lack of an effective TB vaccine hinders current efforts in combating the TB pandemic. One theory as to why BCG is less protective in tropical countries is that exposure to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) reduces BCG efficacy.

IS6110 homologs are present in multiple copies in mycobacteria other than tuberculosis-causing mycobacteria [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1997 We have previously demonstrated homology between a 181-bp fragment of IS6110 and DNA from mycobacteria other than tuberculosis-causing mycobacteria (MOTT). Genomic DNA from 14 strains of MOTT was digested with PvuII and was hybridized with a probe derived from the 181-bp fragment and the INS1/INS2 international standard probe at high stringency ...

Dehalogenation of Haloalkanes byMycobacterium tuberculosisH37Rv and Other Mycobacteria [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2000 ABSTRACTHaloalkane dehalogenases convert haloalkanes to their corresponding alcohols by a hydrolytic mechanism. To date, various haloalkane dehalogenases have been isolated from bacteria colonizing environments that are contaminated with halogenated compounds.

Increasing Incidence of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Taiwan, 2000–2008
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 To assess the species distribution and epidemiologic trends of nontuberculous mycobacteria, we examined isolates from patients in Taiwan. During 2000–2008, the proportion increased significantly from 32.3% to 49.8%. Associated disease incidence increased
