1. Nontuberculous mycobacterial infection in a tertiary care center in Mexico, 2001-2017
ABSTRACT Introduction: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) comprise several pathogens with a complex profile of virulence, diverse epidemiological and clinical patterns as well as host specificity. Recently, an increase in the number of NTM infections has been observed; therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and ou

2. Characteristic profile of antibody responses to PPD, ESAT-6, and CFP-10 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pulmonary tuberculosis suspected cases in Surabaya, Indonesia
Abstract Accurate and rapid diagnostic tools are important aspects of managing tuberculosis (TB) cases appropriately. However, the sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic kits based on immune response such as the tuberculin skin test (TST) and interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) are still debated. Thus, the exploration and assessment of specific biomarke

3. Mycobacterium abscessus skin infection after tattooing - Case report
AbstractMycobacterium abscessus is a rapidly growing mycobacterium that has been affecting people undergoing invasive procedures, such as videosurgery and mesotherapy. This bacterium has global distribution, being found in numerous niches. The frequency of published reports of infection by rapidly growing mycobacteria associated with tattooing procedures has

4. Molecular identification and typing of Mycobacterium massiliense isolated from postsurgical infections in Brazil
OBJECTIVE: One hundred thirty-one cases of postsurgical infections were reported in Southern Region of Brazil between August 2007 and January 2008. Thirty-nine (29.8%) cases were studied; this report describes epidemiological findings, species identification, antimicrobial susceptibility and clonal diversity of rapidly growing mycobacteria isolated in this o

5. Evaluation of INNO-LiPA mycobacteria v2 assay for identification of rapidly growing mycobacteria
A total of 54 rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) isolated from patients attended in the two hospitals of Cádiz Bay (Spain) were selected during a seven-year-period (2000-2006) in order to evaluate the INNO-LiPA Mycobacteria v2 assay for mycobacterial identification, based on the reverse hybridization principle. The strains were cultured in Löwenstein-Jense

6. Micobactérias de crescimento rápido de importância médica no Brasil: eficácia antimicrobiana de desinfetantes e sistema de esterilização por plasma / Rapidly growing mycobacteria of medical importance in Brazil: antimicrobial efficacy of disinfectants and plasma sterilization system
Práticas inadequadas de descontaminação, desinfecção e esterilização de materiais médico-hospitalares têm propiciado o surgimento de inúmeros surtos de infecções por \ Micobactérias de Crescimento Rápido\ (MCR), em todo o Brasil. Entre os anos de 2000 a 2008 foram relatados mais de 2000 casos confirmados de infecções por MCR, sendo que os pro

7. Control of Mycobacterium fortuitum and Mycobacterium intracellulare infections with respect to distinct granuloma formations in livers of BALB/c mice
Mycobacterium fortuitum is a rapidly growing nontuberculous Mycobacterium that can cause a range of diseases in humans. Complications from M. fortuitum infection have been associated with numerous surgical procedures. A protective immune response against pathogenic mycobacterial infections is dependent on the granuloma formation. Within the granuloma, the ma

8. Formação de biofilmes com cepas de micobactérias de crescimento rápido de fenótipos liso e rugoso / Formação de biofilmes com cepas de micobactérias de crescimento rápido de fenótipos liso e rugoso / Biofilm formation with rapidly-growing mycobacteria with smooth and rough phenotypes / Biofilm formation with rapidly-growing mycobacteria with smooth and rough phenotypes
Micobactérias não tuberculosas (MNT) são bactérias ubiquitárias e equipadas para suportar diferentes temperaturas e falta de nutrientes. Elas também possuem resistência a muitos desinfetantes e antimicrobianos. Várias espécies do gênero Mycobacterium já foram associadas a biofilmes em instrumentais cirúrgicos e sistemas de água em ambientes hosp

9. Non tuberculous mycobacteria and toxoplasma co-infection of the central nervous system in a patient with AIDS
New-onset seizures are frequent manifestations in patients infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). We describe the clinical and radiological findings in an 25yr old AIDS patient presenting with new onset seizures as the primary manifestation of cerebral toxoplasmosis and Non Tuberculous Mycobacterial [NTM] co-infection. Cranial computed tomography

10. Infecções por micobactérias de crescimento rápido resistentes a desinfetantes: uma problemática nacional?
Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are opportunistic microorganisms and widely distributed into aqueous environment and soil. Human RGM infections are usually associated with contaminated solutions or medical instruments used during invasive procedures. RGM postsurgical infections have recently emerged in Brazil and have caused national alert, considering th

11. The resumption of consumption: a review on tuberculosis
Among all infectious diseases that afflict humans, tuberculosis (TB) remains the deadliest. At present, epidemiologists estimate that one-third of the world population is infected with tubercle bacilli, which is responsible for 8 to 10 million new cases of TB and 3 million deaths annually throughout the world. Approximately 95% of new cases and 98% of deaths

12. Isolation and identification of mycobacteria from livestock specimens and milk obtained in Brazil
The prevalence of Mycobacterium bovis and other mycobacterial species in livestock specimens and milk was evaluated. An emphasis was placed upon the distribution of these organisms in milk that is readily available to the public that was either untreated, pasteurized, or treated using ultra high temperature. Twenty-two pathologic specimens from livestock (bo
