چکیده
Brevibacterium massiliense infection in man is rare. We report here the second case with isolation of B. massiliense in human. This micro-organism requires specific laboratory investigations such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing for accurate species identification. The clinical outcome was favorable.

Mycobacterium abscessus Complex Infections in Humans
Mycobacterium abscessus complex comprises a group of rapidly growing, multidrug-resistant, nontuberculous mycobacteria that are responsible for a wide spectrum of skin and soft tissue diseases, central nervous system infections, bacteremia, and ocular and other infections. M. abscessus complex is differentiated into 3 subspecies: M. abscessus subsp. abscessus, M. abscessus subsp. massiliense, a...
متن کاملIsolation of Mycobacterium massiliense from a corneal biopsy in India
INTRODUCTION Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are ubiquitous and are usually considered as saprophytes, and have been recovered from the environment, particularly in dust, watery soil and water distribution systems. However, Mycobacterium massiliense is a rare causative agent of ocular infection. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of M. massiliense in a 44-year-old female with signs and sym...
متن کاملClinical and microbiological differences between Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium massiliense lung diseases.
In recent years, many novel nontuberculous mycobacterial species have been discovered through genetic analysis. Mycobacterium massiliense and M. bolletii have recently been identified as species separate from M. abscessus. However, little is known regarding their clinical and microbiological differences in Japan. We performed a molecular identification of stored M. abscessus clinical isolates f...
متن کاملThe Genome Sequence of ‘Mycobacterium massiliense’ Strain CIP 108297 Suggests the Independent Taxonomic Status of the Mycobacterium abscessus Complex at the Subspecies Level
Members of the Mycobacterium abscessus complex are rapidly growing mycobacteria that are emerging as human pathogens. The M. abscessus complex was previously composed of three species, namely M. abscessus sensu stricto, 'M. massiliense', and 'M. bolletii'. In 2011, 'M. massiliense' and 'M. bolletii' were united and reclassified as a single subspecies within M. abscessus: M. abscessus subsp. bol...

Two strains, HG104 and ASSO, were isolated Crom the soil of Tehran's suburbs. Taxonomic studies showed thatHG104 and AS50 belong to Mycobacterium spp. and Brevibacterium spp. respectively, which produce antibacterial substances with relatively high activity against some important clinical Gram-positive and Gramnegative bacteria
