BACKGROUND A retrospective study was carried out to confirm the clinical impression that, in Lothian, non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections are as common as pulmonary tuberculosis. METHODS All pulmonary isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis/bovis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria in Scotland from April 1990 to March 1993, and the notes of all patients with M malmoense isolates in Lothian, ...
In view of recent reports of contamination of the fibreoptic bronchoscope by tuberculous and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, we evaluated the disinfecting properties of aqueous glutaraldehyde (Cidex) and an iodophor (Prepodyne) against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and M gordonae. We found that a 15 minute disinfection procedure with either agent, coupled with initial vigorous mechanical cleaning of...
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are opportunist pathogens increasingly recognised as a cause of pulmonary and extrapulmonary disease. Treatment is complicated, prolonged and potentially toxic, and due to a limited evidence base, potentially contentious and idiosyncratic. This is a retrospective review of non-tuberculous mycobacteria cases in the NHS Borders Health Board between 1992 and 2010. We c...
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...
Cerulenin is a potent inhibitor of fatty acid synthase (FAS) in a variety of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Using a standardized mycobacterial susceptibility test, we have observed that cerulenin inhibits the growth of several species of mycobacteria, including tuberculous species such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (H37Rv and clinical isolates) and Mycobacterium bovis BCG (hereafter called B...
Most cases of mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children are caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria, previously called the atypical mycobacteria. It is important to differentiate non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis from tuberculous lymphadenitis as the treatment is different. We reviewed 19 children (12 girls and seven boys) with non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis to define likely...
Although infections with NonTuberculous Mycobacteria have become less common in AIDS patients, they are important opportunistic infections after surgical procedures, likely because they are ubiquitous and not efficiently killed by many commonly used disinfectants. In Venezuela there have recently been many non-tuberculous mycobacteria soft tissue infections after minor surgical procedures, some...
BACKGROUND Most environmental non-tuberculous mycobacteria have been demonstrated to invade amoebal trophozoites and cysts, but such relationships are largely unknown for members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. An environmental source has been proposed for the animal Mycobacterium bovis and the human Mycobacterium canettii. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using optic and electron mi...
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) inhabit a wide variety of environmental including different water bodies, soil, aerosol, animals and humans. NTM are also known as environmental mycobacteria which can cause mycobacteriosis .Humans, animals and fresh water fauna are exposed to mycobacteria in water. HIV seronegative and immunocomprised patients are most vulnerable to acquire this opportunistic...
introduction: fish mycobacteriosis is caused by the non-tuberculous mycobacteria. infected fish are normally the primary source of infection, although non-tuberculous mycobacteria can be found in the environment. the present study was designed to investigate the few recently found suspected cases of mycobacteriosis in iranian ornamental fish tanks. materials and methods: pathological specime...
