| relationship between photochromogenicity and test temperature in mycobacteria. | although it has been recommended that photochromogenicity of mycobacteria should be tested after incubation at 25 to 30 degrees c for 2 weeks (wayne et al., int. j. syst. bacteriol. 24:412-419, 1974), our results indicate that photochromogenicity should be determined at 37 degrees c in the dark and under continuous exposure to light for 2 weeks. the test at 37 degrees c gives more stable results for mycobacterium kansasii, mycobacterium marinum and mycobacterium szulgai. | 1981 | 7276150 |
| pulmonary infection caused by mycobacterium szulgai. | the first reported case of pulmonary infection in australia caused by mycobacterium szulgai is presented. only 15 other cases are known to have been reported in the literature. all isolates reported so far have been associated with human disease. | 1981 | 7254091 |
| disseminated mycobacterial disease caused by mycobacterium szulgai. | disseminated mycobacterial disease due to mycobacterium szulgai occurred in a previously healthy young man. the clinical picture included fever, mediastinal and generalized lymphadenopathy, hemoptysis, and skin lesions but was dominated by progressive multifocal osteomyelitis. immunological studies revealed a decrease in t-lymphocyte reaction to mitogens, but this was tested late in the course of the disease and may have been secondary. in spite of repeated surgical drainage and treatment with m ... | 1984 | 6477009 |
| trehalose-containing lipooligosaccharides. a new class of species-specific antigens from mycobacterium. | mycobacterium kansasii is characterized by the presence of seven species-specific neutral lipooligosaccharide antigens. all react with hyperimmune anti-m. kansasii serum in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and the more glycosylated members also react by gel diffusion. both the native glycolipids and their inherent oligosaccharides were purified and the major features of their unique structures determined by acetolysis, partial acid cleavage, 1h-nmr and 13c-nmr, and chemical ionization and ele ... | 1983 | 6411715 |
| [mycobacterium szulgai pulmonary mycobacteriosis, apropos of a new case]. | a case of pulmonary mycobacteriosis due to mycobacterium szulgai is reported in a 58-year-old man. clinical and radiological features suggested tuberculosis. the etiologic agent was m. szulgai which was recovered from six sputum samples. the condition has remained unchanged without therapy for four years. | 1983 | 6314514 |

| identification of mycobacteria by specific precipitation of catalase with absorbed sera. | cross-absorbed antisera have been prepared against catalase from reference strains of mycobacterium asiaticum, mycobacterium gordonae, mycobacterium scrofulaceum, mycobacterium simiae, and mycobacterium szulgai. a total of 61 strains of mycobacteria were grown in small volumes of liquid medium and disrupted in sealed tubes in a cup horn sonicator, and the extracts were tested by a seroprecipitation technique against each of the reference antibody preparations. all 35 strains that belonged to one ... | 1985 | 3998101 |
| mycobacterium szulgai--a case of cutaneous infection? | an infant presented with a carbuncle over the angle of her jaw which grew a scotochromogenic mycobacterium, subsequently identified as mycobacterium szulgai. the problems of identification of this organism and its possible pathogenic role are outlined. | 1985 | 3984039 |
| cutaneous mycobacterium szulgai infection. | multiple inflammatory skin lesions and osteomyelitis of the right ankle developed in a 51-year-old man who had been receiving prednisone therapy for several months. cultures of both the skin and bone lesions yielded mycobacterium szulgai, a scotochromogenic mycobacterium, which is an unusual human pathogen. the patient's condition responded to treatment with isoniazid, ethambutol hydrochloride, and rifampin. | 1985 | 3977342 |
| enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of glycolipid antigens for identification of mycobacteria. | enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays which are based on species- or type-specific glycolipids antigens and in which rabbit antisera are prepared with homologous strains are capable of distinguishing among serological variants of the mycobacterium avium-mycobacterium intracellulare-mycobacterium scrofulaceum complex, mycobacterium chelonei subspecies chelonei and abscessus, mycobacterium simiae i and ii, mycobacterium kansasii, mycobacterium szulgai, mycobacterium xenopi, and mycobacterium fortuitu ... | 1985 | 3886692 |
| mycobacterium szulgai: an unusual pathogen. | mycobacterium szulgai is an unusual pathogen that accounts for less than 1% of all cases of non-tuberculosis mycobacterial infection. infections with this organism usually involve the lung but may involve soft tissues. although similar to tuberculosis in its clinical presentation, infection due to m. szulgai requires different management, and it is therefore important to distinguish disease caused by m. szulgai from that caused by m. tuberculosis. isolation of m. szulgai implies the presence of ... | 1987 | 3602795 |

| trehalose-containing lipooligosaccharide antigens of mycobacterium sp.: presence of a mono-o-methyltri-o-acyltrehalose "core". | we have described the surface antigens of mycobacterium kansasii as trehalose-containing lipooligosaccharides (los) which at the nonreducing "epitope" end bear a unique amino sugar containing diglycosyl unit, whereas the putative reducing end consists of an acylated alpha, alpha-trehalose-containing tetraglucosyl "core" [hunter, s. w., jardine, i., yanagihara, d. l., & brennan, p. j. (1985) biochemistry 24, 2798-2805]. the presence of a new variation on this core, in mycobacterium szulgai, is no ... | 1988 | 3365409 |
| infections caused by mycobacterium szulgai in humans. | mycobacterium szulgai is a scotochromogenic species that has recently been recognized as a human pathogen. twenty-four cases of disease caused by m. szulgai in humans have been reported in the english-language literature. the clinical features of these cases were reviewed, and three additional cases (two pulmonary, one extrapulmonary) were studied. pulmonary disease indistinguishable from that caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis was the commonest type of infection caused by m. szulgai (18 of 27 ... | 1987 | 3321362 |
| structure of mycobacteria: recent developments in defining cell wall carbohydrates and proteins. | work from this laboratory on the immunogens of mycobacterium species has focused on those based on carbohydrates (with a view to the development of specific tools for the serodiagnosis of mycobacterioses) and on the cell-wall proteins, as a source of protective immunity and as a means of observing specific delayed-type hypersensitivity. most mycobacteria are endowed with specific, highly antigenic glycolipids that are powerful for the serodiagnosis of individual mycobacterial infections: e.g., t ... | 1989 | 2469120 |
| [pulmonary infection with mycobacterium szulgai]. | mycobacterium szulgai is a newly recognised species of mycobacteria whose pathogenicity in man can only be confirmed following certain criteria. we report a new observation comprising three points of interest. m. szulgai appears to be directly responsible for pulmonary infection and the clinical and radiological progress is very rapid. the human disease probably comes from infected water in aquaria. we have reviewed other cases of m. szulgai in the literature and for two out of three amongst the ... | 1991 | 1857828 |

| activities of clarithromycin against eight slowly growing species of nontuberculous mycobacteria, determined by using a broth microdilution mic system. | mics of clarithromycin against 324 clinical isolates belonging to eight species of slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria were determined by using a broth microdilution system. isolates were inoculated into twofold drug dilutions in middlebrook 7h9 broth (ph corrected to 7.4) and then incubated at 30 degrees c for 7 days for mycobacterium marinum and for 14 days for all other species. the mic for 90% of the strains (mic90) was less than or equal to 0.5 micrograms/ml for isolates of mycobacte ... | 1992 | 1416891 |
| [mycobacterium szulgai infection in a patient with hemophilia and aids]. | mycobacterium szulgai is a scotochromogenic species recently recognized as a human pathogen. twenty-nine cases of disease caused by m. szulgai in humans have been reported. pulmonary disease indistinguishable from that caused by m. tuberculosis was the commonest type of infection caused by m. szulgai. olecranon bursitis was reported in 3 cases and disseminated infection was noted in 3 cases occurring in immunocompromised patients without aids. the authors report the first case of pulmonary disea ... | 1992 | 1340365 |
| mycobacterium szulgai; a new pathogen causing infection of the lung. | a case of infection with a newly described scotochromogenic mycobacterial species, mycobacterium szulgai, is presented, and all the reported cases are summarized. the disease is characterized by its predominance in middle-aged men, the occurrence of cavitary pulmonary lesions, and a good response to triple-drug therapy. sputum samples are usually positive on smear. drug susceptibility studies show a greater degree of susceptibility to several antituberculosis drugs than the usual scotochromogen. ... | 1976 | 1277906 |
| differential identification of mycobaterium szulgai and other scotochromogenic mycobateria. | strains of scotochromogenic mycobacteria were studied by using numerical taxonomy methods in an attempt to more clearly define mycobacterium szulgai and to find tests useful in identifying the species. in this study all strains of m. szulgai were strong reducers of nitrate, were slow in hydrolyzing tween 80, and gave a high semiquantitative catalase reaction. results obtained indicate that the use of increased pigmentation after 1 h of light exposure at 25 c and that the use of arylsulfatase act ... | 1976 | 1262453 |
| cutaneous infection due to mycobacterium szulgai. | a patient on long term corticosteroid therapy for sarcoidosis developed a cutaneous infection due to mycobacterium szulgai. no evidence of visceral infection with the organism was found during life or at autopsy. the spread of the infection to multiple skin sites probably occurred by autoinoculation. | 1977 | 848794 |

| tuberculoid tenosynovitis and carpal tunnel syndrome caused by mycobacterium szulgai. | mycobacterium szulgai, a scotochromogenic mycobacterium, is a newly recognized pathogen of man and has been reported to cause pulmonary infections, olecranon bursitis and cervical adenitis. we isolated m. szulfai from granulomatous tissue removed at surgery from a young florist with the carpal tunnel syndrome. the organism was susceptible to ethambutol and rifampin but resistant to isoniazid. cure was achieved by debridement and chemotherapy with ethambutol and rifampin. neither the source in ou ... | 1978 | 686019 |
| the tween opacity test as an aid in classification of mycobacteria. | the tween opacity test can be used to differentiate (1) mycobacterium flavescens from mycobacterium gordonae and mycobacterium szulgai, and (2) nonphotochromogenic strains of mycobacterium kansaii from strains of the mycobacterium terrae complex. | 1977 | 335938 |
| immunochemical analyses of a major antigen of mycobacterium szulgai. | unheated culture filtrate of mycobacterium szulgai and a homologous goat antiserum were prepared. immunoelectrophoretic analysis demonstrated a dominant anodal antigen in the culture filtrate. by the use of diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatography, a fraction designated msp, which was rich in this anodal antigen, was recovered. the major antigen of msp was demonstrated to have partial identity with reference mycobacterial antigen 6, and evidence was obtained for separate shared and specific an ... | 1977 | 67158 |
