Objective(s) Rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) are capable of producing diseases in humans. Since mycobacteria vary in their susceptibility, precise identification is critical for adoption of correct drug therapy. The main aim of this study was molecular identification and evaluation of antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Iranian clinically isolated Myocbacterium fortuitum. Materials and...

Abstract DNA is basically an intracellular molecule that stores genetic information and carries instructions for growth reproduction in all cellular organisms. However, some bacteria, has additional roles outside the cells as extracellular (eDNA), which essential component of biofilm formation hence antibiotic tolerance. Mycobacteria include life-threating human pathogens, most are slow growers...

"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...

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: mycobacterium marinum infection has a worldwide distribution and the organism occupies many aquatic environments. infections in human consist of nodular cutaneous lesions that can progress to tenosynovitis, arthritis, and osteomyelitis. case presentation: a 27-year-old man was presented with a history of swelling and exudative erythematous lesions and pustules of the right forearm. ...

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...

Background: Aquatic ecosystems are an important source of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) that can cause different diseases in human. Since culture of mycobacteria needs long-term incubation, fast-growing microorganisms and contaminants in the environment usually prevents the isolation of mycobacteria. Here, we compare different treatment protocols and describe a method that increases the rec...

Abstract Background Mycobacteria include ubiquitous species of varying virulence. However, environmental and individual-specific factors, particularly host genetics, play a crucial role in the outcome exposure to mycobacteria. The first molecular evidence monogenic predisposition mycobacteria came from study Mendelian susceptibility mycobacterial disease (MSMD), rare inborn error IFN- γ immunit...
