Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection is a major medical concern in Japan because of its increased prevalence and associated mortality.

We report a case of localized recurrent soft tissue swelling of the foot by Mycobacterium fortuitum in a healthy adult male. The case is being reported for its uncommon clinical presentation and the associated etio...
متن کاملEffect of different cell fractions of Mycobacterium avium and vaccination regimens on Mycobacterium avium infection.
Because of the availability of uniform genetic stocks and the ability to modulate stress levels, chickens were investigated as a host for the development of an antimycobacterial vaccine. The imposition and the timing of stress significantly influenced the outcome of Mycobacterium avium infection in chickens. Simple, whole cell or lysate vaccines and combinations of vaccine preparations were ide...
