Pulmonary infection caused by an unusual, slowly growing nontuberculous Mycobacterium.
Mycobacterium triplex, a recently described slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, was isolated from a Finnish patient with pulmonary mycobacteriosis. The disease was successfully treated with antimycobacterial drugs. The strain isolated, which was similar to the type strain but differed slightly from the species description, was regarded as a variant of M. triplex sensu stricto. Accordin...
متن کاملNontuberculous Tuberculosis Caused by Mycobacterium Gordonae - Clinical Case Report
http://www.journal-imab-bg.org / J of IMAB. 2015, vol. 21, issue 3/ ABSTRACT: Background: Mycobacterium gordonae is a slow growing mycobacterium usually found in soil, tap water, and as laboratory contaminant. It is occasionally implicated in different infections in immunosuppressed patients. In contrast, there have been few case reports of active infection in immunocompetent individuals. Case ...
متن کاملPost-laparoscopic wound infection caused by scotochromogenic nontuberculous Mycobacterium.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are known to produce soft-tissue infections following surgical procedures. We report a non-healing surgical wound infection caused by a scotochromogenic nontuberculous mycobacterium, possibly Mycobacterium flavescens, which was earlier thought to be saprophytic. This organism was isolated from the wound discharge at the site of incision following a laparoscopic chole...
متن کاملTenosynovitis caused by a novel nontuberculous Mycobacterium species initially misidentified as a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex.
We present a case of tenosynovitis caused by a novel, slowly growing, nonchromogenic, nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM). Originally misidentified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, the NTM cross-reacts with the M. tuberculosis complex nucleic acid hybridization probe, a M. tuberculosis gamma interferon release assay, and is closely related to M. tuberculosis by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
متن کاملMycobacterium sherrisii sp. nov., a slow-growing non-chromogenic species.
'Mycobacterium sherrisii' is an undescribed species that appears to be emerging, in particular, among HIV-positive patients originating from Africa. To describe 'M. sherrisii', to ensure that the species name is validly published and to define its phylogenetic position, we collected 11 of these strains reported in five previous studies, and subjected them to biochemical identification, cell-wal...
