| mycobacterial bacteraemia in patients infected and not infected with human immunodeficiency virus, taiwan. | the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 71 patients with mycobacterial bacteraemia, infected with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) (n = 47) and not infected with hiv (n = 24) are described. mycobacterium avium complex (mac) (54.9%) constituted the most frequently isolated mycobacterium, followed by mycobacterium tuberculosis (mtb) (38.0%), mycobacterium kansasii (4.2%), and mycobacterium abscessus (2.8%). the beijing family genotype was the most common type in mtb, and mycobacterium intra ... | 2010 | 19709128 |
| clinical features of patients with bacteraemia caused by mycobacterium avium complex species and antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates at a medical centre in taiwan, 2008-2014. | advanced molecular typing methods have greatly expanded the taxonomy of mycobacterium avium complex (mac) species; however, little is known about the epidemiology and clinical features of bacteraemia caused by different mac species. in this study, the clinical characteristics of patients treated for mac bacteraemia in a tertiary-care centre in northern taiwan during 2008-2014 were investigated. isolates were identified to species level by rpob gene and 16s-23s rrna internal transcribed spacer re ... | 2017 | 28478210 |
