Linezolid-Associated Neurologic Adverse Events in Patients with Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis, France

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Linezolid is one of the most effective drugs for treating multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB), but adverse effects remain problematic. We evaluated 57 MDR TB patients who had received >1 dose of linezolid during 2011–2016.

Tenosynovitis due to mycobacteria other than tuberculosis: a hazard of water sports and hobbies

Respiratory Medicine, 1995
Tenosynovitis is defined as inflammation of a tendon sheath. In established cases it often presents as painful swelling associated with gradual loss of movement and palpable synovial thickening with nodularity and crepitus in the affected tendons. The cause of such inflammation may include autoimmune phenomena as in rheumatoid arthritis, bacterial ...

Leptomeningitis in a person with radiologically isolated syndrome and latent tuberculosis. A case report with implications for clinical research [PDF]

, 2018
A 39-year-old man, followed with serial MRI of CNS for a radiologically isolate syndrome (RIS, a recently described condition considered a subclinical form of MS), was hospitalized for the occurrence of a leptomeningitis. Routine blood tests and contrast

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

Osteomyelitis Due to Mycobacterium goodii in an Adolescent, United States

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Osteomyelitis is a rare clinical manifestation of infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). We report an adolescent with femoral osteomyelitis associated with prosthetic material due to an emerging pathogen, Mycobacterium goodii.

Screening vaccine formulations for biological activity using fresh human whole blood. [PDF]

, 2014
Understanding the relevant biological activity of any pharmaceutical formulation destined for human use is crucial. For vaccine-based formulations, activity must reflect the expected immune response, while for non-vaccine therapeutic agents, such as ...

Alcohol‐induced altered glycans in human tracheal epithelial cells promote bacterial adhesion

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Alcohol induces altered glycans to promote bacteria adhesion. Heavy alcohol drinking is known to increase the risk of bacterial pneumonia. However, the link between alcohol levels and risk of infection remains underexplored. Recently, we found that alcohol induced α2‐6sialo mucin O‐glycans in human tracheobronchial epithelial cells, which mediated the ...

Mycobacterial Lineages Causing Pulmonary and Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis, Ethiopia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Molecular typing of 964 specimens from patients in Ethiopia with lymph node or pulmonary tuberculosis showed a similar distribution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains between the 2 disease manifestations and a minimal role for M. bovis.
