| mycobacterium avium-m. intracellulare isolates from patients with or without acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. | susceptibility testing and serotyping were performed on 57 isolates of mycobacterium avium-m. intracellulare from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids) and 75 isolates from patients without aids. susceptibility patterns and serotypes of aids isolates were significantly different from those of non-aids isolates. these results may partially explain the poor therapeutic response of m. avium-m. intracellulare infections in aids patients. | 1986 | 3813519 |

| serum antigen 85 levels in adjunct testing for active mycobacterial infections in orangutans. | diagnosis of active mycobacterial disease in orangutans (pongo pygmaeus) has been impeded by high levels of non-specific intradermal skin test reactivity to mycobacterial antigens. this may be due in part to cross reactivity between antigens, tuberculin concentrations used or other species-specific factors. antigen 85 (ag85) complex proteins are major secretory products of actively growing mycobacteria, and measurement of serum ag85 could provide a method for determining active mycobacterial inf ... | 2001 | 11272506 |
| nontuberculous mycobacterial disease following hot tub exposure. | nontuberculous mycobacteria (ntm) have been recognized as an important cause of disease in immunocompromised hosts. pulmonary disease caused by ntm is increasingly recognized in previously healthy persons. investigation of pulmonary disease affecting a family of five identified an indoor hot tub as the source of ntm-related disease. | 2001 | 11747738 |
| sensitivity of test strategies used in the voluntary johne's disease herd status program for detection of mycobacterium paratuberculosis infection in dairy cattle herds. | to evaluate sensitivities at the herd level of test strategies used in the voluntary johne's disease herd status program (vjdhsp) and alternative test strategies for detecting dairy cattle herds infected with mycobacterium paratuberculosis. | 2002 | 12420786 |
| seroprevalence of mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis infection among dairy cows in colorado and herd-level risk factors for seropositivity. | to estimate seroprevalence of mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis (map) infection among adult dairy cows in colorado and determine herd-level factors associated with the risk that individual cows would be seropositive. | 2004 | 15239481 |
| surveys for disease agents in introduced elk in arkansas and kentucky. | surveys for disease agents were conducted in introduced free-ranging elk (cervus elaphus nelsoni) in arkansas and kentucky. elk had been captured in colorado and nebraska and released in arkansas during 1981-1985. from 1997 through 2002 elk were captured in arizona, kansas, north dakota, new mexico, oregon, and utah and released in southeastern kentucky. specimens were collected from 170 hunter-killed elk in arkansas during 1998-2006, and 44 elk in kentucky during 2001-2004. significant findings ... | 2010 | 20090032 |
| evaluation of performance of bacterial culture of feces and serum elisa across stages of johne's disease in cattle using a bayesian latent class model. | the objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of bacterial culture of feces and serum elisa to correctly identify cows with mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (map) at heavy, light, and non-fecal-shedding levels. a total of 29,785 parallel test results from bacterial culture of feces and serum elisa were collected from 17 dairy herds in minnesota, pennsylvania, and colorado. samples were obtained from adult cows from dairy herds enrolled for up to 10 yr in the national johne ... | 2015 | 26364104 |
| mycobacterium talmoniae sp. nov., a slowly growing mycobacterium isolated from human respiratory samples. | a novel slowly growing, non-chromogenic species of the class actinobacteria was isolated from a human respiratory sample in nebraska, usa, in 2012. analysis of the internal transcribed spacer sequence supported placement into the genus mycobacterium with high sequence similarity to a previously undescribed strain isolated from a patient respiratory sample from oregon, usa, held in a collection in colorado, usa, in 2000. the two isolates were subjected to phenotypic testing and whole genome seque ... | 2017 | 28809146 |
