Structural analysis of biofilm formation by rapidly and slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria.
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) such as M. abscessus, M. mucogenicum, M. chelonae, and M. fortuitum, implicated in health care-associated infections, are often isolated from potable water supplies as part of the microbial flora. To understand factors that influence growth in their environmental source, clinical RGM and slowly growing MAC isolates were gr...
متن کاملDifferentiation of phylogenetically related slowly growing mycobacteria by their gyrB sequences.
The conventional methods for identifying mycobacterial species are based on their phenotypic characterization. Since some problematic species are slow growers, their taxonomy takes several weeks or months to identify. The ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence-based identification strategy has been adopted to solve this problem. More recently, the gyrB sequences have been shown to be useful phylogenetic...
متن کاملDrug Susceptibility of 33 Reference Strains of Slowly Growing Mycobacteria to 19 Antimicrobial Agents
Objectives. Slowly growing mycobacteria (SGM) are prevalent worldwide and cause an extensive spectrum of diseases. Methods. In this study, the antimicrobial susceptibility of 33 reference strains of SGM to 19 antimicrobial agents was tested using a modified microdilution method. Results. Cefmetazole (32/33) and azithromycin (32/33) exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity, and dapsone (9/33...
متن کاملA slowly growing flank mass
CASE PRESENTATION A 62-year-old woman presented to her family physician with a twomonth history of a slowly growing left flank mass. She was previously well except for recurrent urinary tract infections; there was no recent travel or trauma. An ultrasound demonstrated a benign-appearing left renal cyst. Three weeks later, she began to develop flank pain, fevers, chills, night sweats and erythem...
متن کاملSkin and Soft Tissue Infection due to Rapidly Growing Mycobacteria: Case Series and Literature Review
BACKGROUND Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous in soil and water. Most NTM cause disease in humans only rarely unless some aspect of host defense is impaired. Recently, rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) is not uncommon, and the prevalence of RGM infection has been increasing. RGM causes a wide spectrum of pulmonary and extrapulmonary diseases and has been shown as an important sou...
