Increase in non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolated from humans in Tuscany, Italy, from 2004 to 2014
BACKGROUND In Italy, the prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in human infections is largely unknown. Herein, we report the epidemiology of NTM infections in a region of central Italy, Tuscany, over the last 11 years, and provide a review of the recent literature on NTM isolation rates in different geographic regions. METHODS The complete collection of NTM strains isolated from a ...
متن کاملSpecies diversity of non-tuberculous mycobacteria isolated from humans, livestock and wildlife in the Serengeti ecosystem, Tanzania
BACKGROUND Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), which are ubiquitous micro-organisms occurring in humans, animals and the environment, sometimes receive public health and veterinary attention as opportunistic disease-causing agents. In Tanzania, there is limited information regarding the diversity of NTM species, particularly at the human-livestock-wildlife interface such as the Serengeti ecosys...
متن کاملEditorials Typing of mycobacteria using spoligotyping
The potential use of spoligotyping—a polymerase chain reaction based typing system for diVerentiation of strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis—for studying the epidemiology of tuberculosis in developing countries which do not routinely perform mycobacterial culture is described in this issue of Thorax by Heyderman et al in a study from Zimbabwe. 1 How does this newer method compare with the now...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Tuberculosis Suspects in Southern-Central China
The incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM)-related death has increased globally recently. To obtain information of the species and characterization of pathogens involved in NTM pulmonary infection in Southern-central China, we identified 160 non-tuberculous infection cases from 3995 acid-fast bacilli (AFB)-positive tuberculous suspects. We then randomly selected 101 non-tuberculous pat...
متن کاملNon-tuberculous mycobacteria isolated from slaughter pigs in Mubende district, Uganda
BACKGROUND The importance of infections caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in animals and humans has gained considerable recognition during the past few years. In the developed world, where pig production is extensively practiced, studies on mycobacterial infections and related control strategies have received increasing attention. The infections are reported to be caused by a wide sp...
