Mycobacterium novocastrense–associated Pulmonary and Wound Infections
To the Editor: Although the clinical role of nontuberculous mycobacteria has long been appreciated (1), the high endemicity of tuberculosis (TB) in developing countries has overshadowed the emergence of these organisms. They are simply dismissed as being contaminants or are misidentifi ed as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (2). No report on M. novocastrense has been published since its original desc...
متن کاملDelayed post-operative wound infections due to non-tuberculous Mycobacterium.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE The non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as important opportunistic pathogens of human beings in the recent years. The NTM are rapid growing mycobacteria (RGM), which include Mycobacterium fortuitum and M. chelonae and grouped as M. fortuitum-chelonae complex. Though there are reports on isolation of NTM from various parts of India, information on its occurrenc...
متن کاملExtraction and biological evaluation of Mycobacterium kansasii extracellular vesicles as a vaccine candidate against mycobacterial pulmonary infections
Introduction: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are bacterial products with diverse biological roles. Like many microorganisms, Mycobacterium kansasii as a nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), can naturally release EVs. The aim of the present study was the extraction and biological evaluation of M. kansasii as a vaccine candidate against mycobacterial pulmonary infections. Methods: After bacterial cul...
متن کاملTransverse myelopathy and radiculomyelopathy associated with pulmonary atypical Mycobacterium infections.
Myelopathy is a well recognised but rare association with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, but has not been described with atypical mycobacteria. We report two cases of disabling myelopathy in association with pulmonary infection by Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium malmoense; the myelopathy is presumed to be a para-infectious phenomenon.
متن کاملPost-Laminectomy Wound Infections: Colonized Seromas Mimicking Wound Infections
OBJECTIVE Post-operative laminectomy wounds are frequently accompanied by seromas. Post-operative wound drainage may be colonized or infected. The differentiation of wound colonization from infection is difficult for non-infectious disease physicians. METHODS External chart reviewers classified 31/1531 laminectomies (over three years) as post-operative wound infections. We re-evaluated these ...
