Mycobacterium is a genus of over 190 species in the phylum Actinomycetota, assigned its own family, Mycobacteriaceae. This genus includes pathogens known to cause serious diseases in mammals, including tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) and leprosy (M. leprae) in humans.

2024年2月19日 · Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections are wounds or illnesses caused by Mycobacterium bacteria, except for those that cause tuberculosis and leprosy (Hansen’s disease). NTM can infect your lungs, skin, bones, lymph nodes or many organs in your body. M. avium complex (MAC) is the most common cause. NTM infections are treated with antibiotics.

2016年8月11日 · Mycobacteria are a type of germ. There are many different kinds. The most common one causes tuberculosis. Another one causes leprosy. Still others cause infections that are called atypical mycobacterial infections. They …

Mycobacterium, genus of rod-shaped bacteria of the family Mycobacteriaceae (order Actinomycetales), the most important species of which, M. tuberculosis and M. leprae, cause tuberculosis and leprosy, respectively, in humans. M. bovis causes tuberculosis in …

2024年4月15日 · Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are bacteria (germs) found in soil, dust and water. NTM do not include M. tuberculosis (the cause of tuberculosis) or M. leprae (the cause of Hansen's disease). Anyone can get an NTM infection but people with underlying lung disease or weakened immune systems are at increased risk.

2023年1月9日 · Atypical mycobacteria or nontuberculous mycobacteria cause various diseases such as skin and soft tissue infection, lymphadenitis, pulmonary infection, disseminated infection, and a wide range of more rarely encountered infections.

During mycobacterial growth, both in vitro and in vivo, substrate oxidation leads to the formation of reduced cytoplasmic electron carriers, e.g. NADH, FADH 2 or ferredoxin. The oxidation of NADH or equivalent by aerobicbacteria is critical for continuous metabolic flux, and in the absence of a fermentative metabolism, NADH oxidation will be ...

Currently, there are over 170 recognized species of Mycobacterium, the only genus in the family Mycobacteriaceae. Organisms belonging to this genus are quite diverse with respect to their ability to cause disease in humans; some are strict pathogens, while others are opportunistic pathogens or nonpathogenic.

2020年2月21日 · In this Review, we cover the proposed infection process of M. abscessus, its virulence factors and host interactions and highlight the commonalities and differences of M. abscessus with other NTM...
