Several reports have indicated that infection with Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM) is increasing worldwide.Therefore,monitoring species causing micobacterial infection in any region is of great importance. This study was going to detect, differentiate, and identify pathogenic mycobacteria in primary clinical samples. Eighty samples collected from tuberculosis suspected patients in Isfahan/I...

The potentially pathogenic Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging nowadays which result in pulmonary and non-pulmonary infections in human. This group of bacteria consists of at least 200 different species. While the pulmonary disease is the most common form of NTM infections, NTM can cause diffused infections as well as extrapulmonary infections in every organ, such as bone marrow, s...

background :    although, nontuberculous mycobacteria can cause disease in different organisms, they usually are not reported in most countries because scientists in general consider them as non-pathogens. but, increasing nontuberculous mycobacteria diseases occurrence has changed this belief. nevertheless, there is no meta-analysis review about prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria in iran...

non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (ntm), as certain species of mycobacteria, can affect human in several ways. in the preceding years, the rate of ntm detection has risen in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. on the other hand, several reports have debated the possibility of co-infection of both mycobcateriu tuberculosis (mtb) and ntm in individuals that puts the role of ntm in di...

"Non-tuberculous mycobacteria" (NTM) is a general term for pathogenic mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis and leprae. Non-tuberculous are widely present in the natural environment, including soil water, with over 150 reported species. abscessus rare among mycobacteria, there few reports of extrapulmonary lesions due to abscessus. We describe case osteomyelitis an adult woman's le...

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...

The identification of Mycobacteria in the species level has great medical importance. Biochemical tests are laborious and time-consuming, so new techniques could be used to identify the species. This research aimed to the comparison of biochemical and sequencing 16S rDNA gene methods to identify nontuberculous Mycobacteria in patients suspected to tuberculosis in Golestan province which is the ...
