| mycobacterium marinum flexor tenosynovitis. | four culture-positive cases of flexor tenosynovitis of the hand caused by mycobacterium marinum are reported. the organisms were cultured at 32 degrees. all patients were treated with a combination of flexor tenosynovectomy and antimycobacterial treatment with ethambutol and rifampin. the length of antimycobacterial treatment ranged from nine to 22 months. all four patients responded to treatment with cessation of signs of infection, increased range of motion, and complete wound healing. | 1989 | 2910612 |

| purification and characterization of atp:amp phosphotransferase from mycobacterium marinum. | atp:amp phosphotransferase (ec 2.7.4.3) (adenylate kinase) has been purified 1746-fold from mycobacterium marinum (atcc 927) by successive column chromatography on deae-cellulose (de-53), reactive blue agarose, sephadex g-75, hydroxyapatite and, finally, deae-sephadex a-50. the final enzyme preparation had a specific activity of 576 mumol/min per mg protein with an overall yield of 51%. the preparation was homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. the enzyme was e ... | 1986 | 3004585 |
| mycobacterium marinum infection in gnotobiotic nu/nu mice pretreated with cyclophosphamide and silica. | germfree nude mice (nmrj-nu/nu) and germfree nu/+ mice were infected with mycobacterium marinum in the footpad test. after pretreatment with 400 mg/kg cyclophosphamide, significantly higher amounts of m. marinum were reached in the footpad and in the liver. on the other hand, the yield of m. marinum could not be elevated by in vivo inhibition of macrophages with silica. | 1986 | 3020845 |

| bactericidal activity of alkaline glutaraldehyde solution against a number of atypical mycobacterial species. | the mycobactericidal activity of 2% alkaline glutaraldehyde solution was determined using standardized suspensions of 10 species of atypical mycobacteria and compared with that for virulent mycobacterium tuberculosis. suspensions of m. avium, m. intracellulare and m. gordonae were more resistant to disinfection by the glutaraldehyde than were virulent tubercle bacilli while m. kansasii, m. scrofulaceum and m. szulgae were somewhat more susceptible. mycobacterium marinum, m. smegmatis and m. fort ... | 1986 | 3096931 |
| resistance to mycobacteria in mice treated with fractionated total lymphoid irradiation (tli) and in mice reconstituted with allogenic bone marrow cells following radiotherapy. | the increased clinical use of total lymphoid irradiation (tli) as an immunosuppressive adjunct in transplantation suggested the need for determining the effects of tli on the in vivo susceptibility of animals to infections controlled by cell-mediated immunity. tli-treated, tli-treated and splenectomized, and chimeric mice prepared with tli were inoculated in the hind foot pad with mycobacterium marinum or mycobacterium leprae. although m. marinum organisms multiplied in greater numbers in the tl ... | 1985 | 3155713 |
| cutaneous infection with mycobacterium avium-intracellulare scrofulaceum intermediate: a new pathogenic entity. | the atypical or environmental mycobacterial organisms constitute a large group of potential agents in the pathogenesis of cutaneous infection. the most commonly encountered mycobacterial infection after contact with water is mycobacterium marinum. we report an unusual case of cutaneous mycobacterial infection caused by a newly described opportunistic mycobacteria, m. avium-intracellulare scrofulaceum intermediate. this case emphasizes the difficulty in distinguishing among the species m. avium-i ... | 1988 | 3170812 |

| synovial involvement by mycobacterium marinum. a histopathological study of 25 culture-proven cases. | the present culture-proven cases are contrary to the generally held view that infection with mycobacterium marinum is habitually a superficial infection without potentially serious consequence. a wide spectrum of pathological lesions may be seen in the synovium and adjacent tissues in patients infected by m. marinum. variations in the morphology of the inflammatory reaction occurs both between cases and, to a lesser extent, in different areas of individual cases. the inflammation ranges from the ... | 1988 | 3241735 |

| analysis of dimycocerosates of glycosylphenolphthiocerols in the identification of some clinically significant mycobacteria. | extracts of representative mycobacteria were examined by thin-layer chromatography for glycosylphenolphthiocerol dimycocerosates. the glycolipid typical of mycobacterium bovis was also found in mycobacterium africanum and mycobacterium microti, but it was absent in mycobacterium bovis an 5. mycobacterium gastri strains contained a glycolipid which was chromatographically similar to that in mycobacterium kansasii. representatives of mycobacterium marinum produced a distinct glycolipid type, and o ... | 1987 | 3326746 |

| mycobacterium chelonei tenosynovitis. | most atypical mycobacterium infections of the hand are caused by mycobacterium marinum. we are presenting a rare case of a mycobacterium chelonei tenosynovitis. the correct diagnosis is important because the chelonei species is resistant to most antituberculosis drugs. treatment should include surgical debridement and long-term chemotherapy after sensitivities have been determined. | 1988 | 3364921 |
| swimming pool granulomas due to mycobacterium marinum: an occupational hazard of lifeguards. | m. marinum appears to be an occupational hazard to lifeguards who clean swimming pools. if such persons have any persisting "boil," "ulcer," or "granuloma," these lesions should be considered to be caused by m. marinum, unless proven otherwise. | 1988 | 3391044 |
