Molecular Longitudinal Tracking of Mycobacterium abscessus spp. during Chronic Infection of the Human Lung
The Mycobacterium abscessus complex is an emerging cause of chronic pulmonary infection in patients with underlying lung disease. The M. abscessus complex is regarded as an environmental pathogen but its molecular adaptation to the human lung during long-term infection is poorly understood. Here we carried out a longitudinal molecular epidemiological analysis of 178 M. abscessus spp. isolates o...
متن کاملMixed Infection of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the Lung
A mixed infection of Mycobacterium abscessus subsp. abscessus (Mab) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) in the lung is an unusual clinical manifestation and has not yet been reported. A 61-year-old woman had been treated for Mab lung disease and concomitant pneumonia, and was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). Despite both anti-PTB and anti-Mab therapy, her entire left lung was destr...
متن کاملMycobacterium abscessus Lung Infection: A Case Report.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous, and more than 150 species have been identified.1,2 These low-virulence mycobacteria are known to cause mostly opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients, although they are increasingly seen in normal hosts.1,2 Mycobacterium abscessus complex is a rapidly growing NTM, which was the second most commonly isolated NTM pulmonary pathogen ...
متن کاملTreatment of Mycobacterium abscessus Infection.
Mycobacterium abscessus is often resistant to multiple antimicrobial drugs, and data supporting effective drugs or dosing regimens are limited. To better identify treatment approaches and associated toxicities, we collected a series of case reports from the Emerging Infections Network. Side effects were common and often led to changing or discontinuing therapy.
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
