Niacin-positive Mycobacterium kansasii isolated from immunocompromised patients.
Niacin-positive Mycobacterium kansasii was isolated from three patients, two with respiratory infections and one with a perirectal abscess. The isolates were phenotypically similar to other strains of M. kansasii, differing only in their ability to produce niacin. This phenotype has been reported only twice in the literature, during the 1960s.
متن کاملMycobacterium haemophilum in immunocompromised patients.
Mycobacterium haemophilum, a recently described pathogen, can cause an array of symptoms in immunocompromised patients. To date, 90 patients with this infection have been described worldwide. We report our institution's experience with 23 patients who were treated from 1990 through 2000. Fourteen patients had undergone bone marrow transplantation, 5 were infected with human immunodeficiency vir...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequences of Mycobacterium kansasii Strains Isolated from Rhesus Macaques
Mycobacterium kansasii is a nontuberculous mycobacterium. It causes opportunistic infections with pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations. We report here the complete genome sequences of two M. kansasii strains isolated from rhesus macaques. We performed genome comparisons with human and environmental isolates of M. kansasii to assess the genomic diversity of this species.
متن کاملMycobacterium paratuberculosis, Mycobacterium kansasii, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium avium in patients with chronic inflammatory bowel disease
A mycobacterial aetiology has been suggested for Crohn's disease. A slow growing mycobacterium, biochemically and genetically identical toM paratuberculosis, the causative agent of enteritis in ruminants Johne's disease), has been isolated from gut specimens of patients affected by Crohn's disease. If M paratuberculosis or other mycobacteria play a role in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease, t...
متن کاملMolecular analysis of Mycobacterium kansasii isolates from the United States.
We studied the population genetics of Mycobacterium kansasii isolates from the United States by PCR restriction enzyme analysis (PRA) of the 441-bp Telenti fragment of the hsp-65 gene and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) of genomic DNA with the restriction endonucleases AseI, DraI, and XbaI, and we compared the patterns to those previously reported from France and Japan. By PRA, 78 of 81...
