Pulmonary infection caused by an unusual, slowly growing nontuberculous Mycobacterium.

Project description:Mycobacterium triplex, a recently described slowly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, was isolated from a Finnish patient with pulmonary mycobacteriosis. The disease was successfully treated with antimycobacterial drugs. The strain isolated, which was similar to the type strain but differed slightly from the species description, was regarded as a variant of M. triplex sensu stricto. According to present knowledge this variant of the species has never been isolated before.

Pulmonary infection caused by Mycobacterium neoaurum: the first case in Korea.

Project description:Mycobacterium neoaurum is rapidly growing mycobacteria that can cause human infections. It commonly causes bloodstream infections in immunocompromised hosts, and unlike other mycobacteria species, it rarely causes pulmonary infections. We confirmed the first pulmonary infection case in Korea caused by M. neoaurum using full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing.

Pulmonary tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis in China.

Project description:The epidemiology of Mycobacterium bovis infection in humans in China is unknown. In this study, pulmonary tuberculosis caused by M. bovis in China was studied. A total of 4069 clinical strains isolated from sputa during the 2007-2009 nationwide surveillance of drug-resistant tuberculosis in China were analyzed. M. bovis was identified by para-nitrobenzoic acid and thiophen-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide growth tests, spoligotyping and multiplex PCR amplification. In addition, a total of 1828 clinical specimens were recruited from Beijing Chest Hospital (Beijing, China) for Löwenstein-Jensen (LJ) culture, both on standard LJ medium and LJ medium containing 4.5 mg/ml(W/V) sodium pyruvate, the latter being the preferred medium for M. bovis growth. The isolates which demonstrated more vigorous on pyruvate containing medium than on standard LJ medium were then identified by multiplex PCR amplification. Only 1 isolate from the nationwide surveillance was confirmed as M. bovis-BCG. The isolate belonged to a predominant spoligotype SB0120 (ST482). In addition, no M. bovis isolate was acquired by the continuous screening step in Beijing Chest Hospital. M. bovis has a negligible contribution to pulmonary tuberculosis in China, so neither laboratory identification nor clinical treatment of M. bovis infection need be considered in routine work.

A case of pulmonary infection caused by <i>Mycobacterium asiaticum</i>: Difficulties on diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

Project description:A 56-year-old previously healthy female presented with chronic productive cough and fever. Chest X-ray revealed right middle lung opacities. Sputum acid fast bacilli smear was positive, however polymerase chain reaction was negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Further investigations were pursued, which identified Mycobacterium asiaticum. Appropriate therapy with isoniazid, rifampin and clarithromycin for total 18 months (including pyrazinamide and ethambutol for first 4 months) resulted in clinical and radiographic improvement. Recognition of the possibility of this rarely described pulmonary pathogen is essential for successful treatment.

Project description:Mycobacterium brumae is a rapidly growing environmental mycobacterial species identified in 1993; so far, no infections by this organism have been reported. Here we present a catheter-related M. brumae bloodstream infection in a 54-year-old woman with breast cancer. The patient presented with high fever (39.7 degrees C), and >1,000 colonies of M. brumae grew from a quantitative culture of blood drawn through the catheter. A paired peripheral blood culture was negative, however, suggesting circulational control of the infection. The patient was treated empirically with meropenem and vancomycin, and the fever resolved within 24 h. The catheter was removed a week later, and from the tip M. brumae was isolated a second time, suggesting catheter colonization. The organism was identified by colonial morphology, sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene, and biochemical tests.

Pulmonary Infection Caused by Mycobacterium malmoense in a Chronic HIV-Infected Individual Participating in a Therapeutic Vaccine Trial.

Project description:We report a case of Mycobacterium malmoense pulmonary infection and HIV-1 chronic co-infection in a 60-year-old man while participating in an HIV-1 therapeutic vaccine clinical trial and during the analytical treatment interruption. We present clinical and therapeutic features of a complicated M. malmoense pulmonary infection along with discussion of the possible relation to the HIV-1 cure-related interventions.

Pulmonary Fungal Infection Caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum.

Project description:Neoscytalidium dimidiatum is a mold known to cause onychomycosis and dermatomycosis; however, it is an extremely rare cause of systemic infection. We report a case of pulmonary infection with Neoscytalidium dimidiatum in an immunocompromised patient and discuss in vitro susceptibility data from this case and previous literature.
