Mycobacterium arupense flexor tenosynovitis: case report and review of antimicrobial susceptibility profiles for 40 clinical isolates.

Candida haemulonii Complex Species, Brazil, January 2010–March 2015

infection have been reported in immunosuppressed persons, both in HIV/AIDS patients (manifesting as pulmonary infection in 1 patient and disseminated disease in the other) (6). In our study, the im-munocompromised patient with M. arupense tenosynovitis received canakinumab, a relatively new biologic agent with a prolonged selective IL-1 β-blockade. Even though the contribution of canakinumab in...

Mycobacterium arupense, Mycobacterium heraklionense, and a Newly Proposed Species, "Mycobacterium virginiense" sp. nov., but Not Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum, as Species of the Mycobacterium terrae Complex Causing Tenosynovitis and Osteomyelitis.

Mycobacterium terrae complex has been recognized as a cause of tenosynovitis, with M. terrae and Mycobacterium nonchromogenicum reported as the primary etiologic pathogens. The molecular taxonomy of the M. terrae complex causing tenosynovitis has not been established despite approximately 50 previously reported cases. We evaluated 26 isolates of the M. terrae complex associated with tenosynovit...

First Korean Case of Mycobacterium arupense Tenosynovitis

Mycobacterium arupense, a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), was first isolated from clinical samples in 2006 [1]. It is a member of the M. terrae complex, which includes M. arupense, M. engbaekii, M. heraklionense, M. hiberniae, M. kumamotonense, M. longobardum, M. nonchromogenicum, M. senuense, and M. terrae [1-5]. Although the M. terrae complex is generally considered nonpathog...

Large joint osteoarticular infection caused by Mycobacterium arupense.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria tenosynovitis and osteoarticular infections have increased during the past 25 years. At least 15 different species of atypical mycobacteria have been mentioned in the literature as the cause of orthopedic infections. Mycobacterium arupense is a recently discovered species that is closely related to the Mycobacterium terrae complex. A review of the literature found M ...
