Abdominal abscess caused by Mycobacterium llatzerense.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycobacterium llatzerense was cultured from a subdiaphragmatic abscess. To our knowledge, this is the first report of isolation of this rapidly growing mycobacterium from a human. Growth characteristics and antimicrobial susceptibilities different from those previously reported for environmental isolates were observed.

Mycobacterium llatzerense, a waterborne Mycobacterium, that resists phagocytosis by Acanthamoeba castellanii
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental bacteria increasingly associated to public health problems. In water systems, free-living amoebae (FLA) feed on bacteria by phagocytosis, but several bacteria, including many NTM, are resistant to this predation. Thus, FLA can be seen as a training ground for pathogenic bacteria. Mycobacterium llatzerense was previously described as frequently...
متن کاملDiversity, community composition, and dynamics of nonpigmented and late-pigmenting rapidly growing mycobacteria in an urban tap water production and distribution system.
Nonpigmented and late-pigmenting rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) have been reported to commonly colonize water production and distribution systems. However, there is little information about the nature and distribution of RGM species within the different parts of such complex networks or about their clustering into specific RGM species communities. We conducted a large-scale survey between 2...
متن کاملEpidural abscess caused by Mycobacterium abscessus
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium abscessus is a member of the Rapidly Growing Mycobacterium (RGM). The incidence of Mycobacterium abscessus infections has steadily been increasing over the last decade. We report the case of an epidural abscess caused by Mycobacterium abscessus. RGM's have infrequently been reported as spinal infections and we found no prior cases reporting M. abscessus as the definitiv...
متن کاملMycobacterium fortuitum abdominal wall abscesses following liposuction
We describe here a case of abdominal abscesses due to Mycobacterium fortuitum following liposuction. The abscesses developed three months after the procedure and diagnosis was delayed for five months. The clues for diagnosis were persistent pus discharge in spite of broad spectrum antibiotics and failure to grow any organisms on routine culture. This condition has been rarely reported; however,...
متن کاملRapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria cultured from home tap and shower water.
Tap and shower water at two locations in the Netherlands was examined for the presence of rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria. Cultures yielded Mycobacterium peregrinum, M. salmoniphilum, M. llatzerense, M. septicum, and three potentially novel species, a distribution different from that in clinical samples.
