| lung disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria. | although the incidence of tuberculosis has reduced in developed countries, there is a growing interest in nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntm) as a cause of lung disease. however, ntm are a heterogeneous group and most of the data come from only three species: mycobacterium avium complex, mycobacterium kansasii and mycobacterium abscessus. still, information about these three species is confusing because it is based mainly on retrospective studies and series of clinical cases performed in developed ... | 2010 | 20154623 |
| occurrence of mycobacterium spp. and other pathogens in lymph nodes of slaughtered swine and wild boars (sus scrofa). | mycobacterium spp. and other pathogens were investigated in 258 swine lymph nodes (129 with and 129 without apparent lesions), and 120 lymph nodes (60 with and 60 without lesions) from wild boars (sus scrofa). a total of lymph nodes from swine and wild boars were collected of different animals. submaxillar and mesenteric lymph nodes were submitted to microbiological examination and colonies suggestive of mycobacterium spp. (alcohol-acid bacilli) were submitted to pcr restriction assay (pra). in ... | 2011 | 20621319 |
| nine-year progression of untreated pulmonary mycobacterium szulgai infection. | a 58-year-old man was seen with complaints of fevers, night sweats, weight loss, and multiple bilateral cavitary lung lesions. mycobacterium szulgai with nearly identical antibiograms grew from separate sputum specimens 9 years apart. he was treated with a combination of clarithromycin and ethambutol with clinical, microbiologic, and radiographic resolution of disease. this is the longest untreated case of documented mycobacterium szulgai infection reported, and offers a glimpse of its natural h ... | 2010 | 20622732 |
| granulomatous pneumonia in a captive freshwater crocodile (crocodylus johnstoni) caused by mycobacterium szulgai. | a 25-yr-old male freshwater crocodile (crocodylus johnstoni) was diagnosed with pulmonary mycobacteriosis caused by mycobacterium szulgai. necropsy revealed fibrinous exudate in the right pleural cavity and white miliary nodules in the right lung lobe. histopathologic examination revealed well-demarcated granulomas consisting of multinucleated giant cells and epithelioid cells surrounded by fibrous connective tissue. atypically, lymphocytes had accumulated in the outer region of fibrous connecti ... | 2010 | 20945661 |

| clinical significance of mycobacterium szulgai isolates from respiratory specimens. | the clinical relevance of mycobacterium szulgai respiratory isolates has been controversial. the aim of this study was to determine the clinical significance of m. szulgai isolates from respiratory specimens and to identify the clinical features and outcomes of m. szulgai lung disease. | 2014 | 24359518 |
| mycobacterium szulgai chronic multifocal osteomyelitis in an adolescent with inherited stat1 deficiency. | we report a 17-year-old patient with inherited stat1 deficiency, who was diagnosed with mycobacterium szulgai chronic multifocal osteomyelitis and responded well to the therapy with ethambutol, rifampicin and azithromycin. seven other reported cases of m. szulgai osteomyelitis are reviewed. this is the first description of m. szulgai osteomyelitis in an adolescent with a primary immunodeficiency. | 2013 | 24569307 |
| pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacteria in a general respiratory population. | the prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacterium (ntm) appears to be increasing. much of the experience in the literature about this emerging organism comes from specialised units or populations such as cystic fibrosis patients. we, therefore, aim to evaluate the experience in a general respiratory population of dealing with patients with positive culture of ntm. we did a retrospective review of medical notes of general respiratory patients from whom ntm were isolated from january 2007 to july 20 ... | 2014 | 25226715 |
| mycobacterium szulgai pulmonary infection: case report of an uncommon pathogen in korea. | mycobacterium szulgai (m. szulgai) is an unusual pathogen in a human non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection. pulmonary infection due to m. szulgai may be clinically and radiologically confused with active pulmonary tuberculosis. in contrast to other non-tuberculous mycobacteria, m. szulgai infection is well controlled by combination antimycobacterial therapy. most of the previously reported cases of m. szulgai pulmonary infection showed cavitary upper lobe infiltrates. we herein describe a case ... | 2017 | 25246828 |
| mixed cutaneous infection caused by mycobacterium szulgai and mycobacterium intermedium in a healthy adult female: a rare case report. | nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntms) are ubiquitous and are being increasingly reported as human opportunistic infection. cutaneous infection caused by mixed ntm is extremely rare. we encountered the case of a 46-year-old female, who presented with multiple discharging sinuses over the lower anterior abdominal wall (over a previous appendectomy scar) for the past 2 years. microscopy and culture of the pus discharge were done to isolate and identify the etiological agent. finally, genotype mycobact ... | 2015 | 25789180 |
| mycobacterium angelicum sp. nov., a non-chromogenic, slow-growing species isolated from fish and related to mycobacterium szulgai. | the name 'mycobacterium angelicum' dates back to 2003 when it was suggested for a slowly growing mycobacterium isolated from freshwater angelfish. this name is revived here and the novel species is proposed on the basis of the polyphasic characterization of four strains including the original one. the four strains presented 100 % 16s rrna gene sequence similarity with mycobacterium szulgai but clearly differed from m. szulgai for the milky white aspect of the colonies. the sequence similarity wi ... | 2015 | 26420689 |
