Knee arthropathy secondary to Mycobacterium scrofulaceum.
Atypical mycobacteria have been described as long as 36 years ago, but it has only been in the last 10 years that the ability of these organisms to cause disease in man has been recognized. The most common pathological processes with which the atypical mycobacteria are associated occur in the lungs and in the cervical lymph nodes. More rare is joint pathology. We describe here a case of knee ar...
متن کاملPlasmid-encoded mercuric reductase in Mycobacterium scrofulaceum.
A Chesapeake Bay water isolate of Mycobacterium scrofulaceum containing a 115-megadalton plasmid (pVT1) grew in the presence of 100 microM HgCl2 and converted soluble 203Hg2+ to volatile mercury at a rate of 50 pmol/10(8) cells per min. Cell extracts contained a soluble mercuric reductase whose activity was not dependent on exogenously supplied thiol compounds. The enzyme displayed nearly ident...
متن کاملFactors influencing the chlorine susceptibility of Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium intracellulare, and Mycobacterium scrofulaceum.
The susceptibility of representative strains of Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium intracellulare, and Mycobacterium scrofulaceum (the MAIS group) to chlorine was studied to identify factors related to culture conditions and growth phase that influenced susceptibility. M. avium and M. intracellulare strains were more resistant to chlorine than were strains of M. scrofulaceum. Transparent and un...
متن کاملMycobacterium scrofulaceum: a bacterial contaminant in plant tissue culture
The identification of a widespread contaminant of plant cell cultures is reported. Mycobacterium scr~luhtceum Prissick and Masson appears as yellow colonies on the medium and plant tissues of many ornamentals being propagated in vitro. It is a Gram positive and acid fast bacterium and requires a specifically formulated medium for growth in pure culture. Many laboratories have alluded to this co...
متن کاملDisseminated Mycobacterium scrofulaceum Infection in an Immunocompetent Host
A 56-year-old woman, without any immunocompromising diseases, was referred to our hospital because of a recurrence of pyogenic spondylitis. Computed tomography revealed multiple osteolytic changes in the whole body. Vertebral magnetic resonance imaging revealed osteomyelitis and spondylitis. Mycobacterium scrofulaceum was detected in sputum cultures, in abscesses from the right knee, and in a s...
