"Mycobacterium tilburgii" Infections
occurring in South Korea because high similarities (98.6%–99.8%) are found among 4 subspecies of R. conorii. Multilocus sequence typing can help differentiate among these subspecies (6). This study provided a model to amplify SFG rickettsial DNA from sera of patients, and it will be helpful in surveillance of these diseases. However, the results should be interpreted more carefully in the conte...
متن کاملDisseminated infection with Mycobacterium tilburgii in a male immunocompromised patient.
Mycobacterium tilburgii is a nonculturable nontuberculous mycobacterium identifiable only by molecular methods. We report a case of disseminated M. tilburgii infection illustrating the importance of 16S rRNA gene sequencing to determine the responsible mycobacterial pathogen and the difficulties in tailoring antimycobacterial treatment in the absence of a culturable organism.
متن کامل"Mycobacterium tilburgii," a newly described, uncultivated opportunistic pathogen.
Molecular methods are increasingly used to identify pathogens that are difficult to cultivate. We report a case of disseminated infection with "Mycobacterium tilburgii," a proposed species that has never been cultivated. The case illustrates the diagnostic utility of sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene directly from clinical specimens.
متن کاملMycobacterium bolletii Respiratory Infections
Contrary to other species in the Mycobacterium chelonae-abscessus complex, we reidentified M. bolletii strains isolated from 4 respiratory patients and found these strains to be uniformly resistant to clarithromycin. No mutations previously associated with macrolide resistance in bacteria were detected in either the 23S rDNA or the genes encoding riboproteins L4 and L22.
