Clinical Laboratory Center, Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310003, China.
Background: Diseases caused by (MTB) and non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have similar clinical symptoms but require different treatments. Rapid and accurate identification of MTB and NTM is essential for proper patient management and treatment.
Methods: To develop and assess a multiplex real-time fluorescence PCR (Multiplex PCR) method for rapid identification of MTB, complex (MAC), M.

Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is an emerging pathogen leading to public health concerns in developing and developed countries, particularly among immunocompromised individuals and patients with structural lung diseases. Current clinical guidelines recommend combination antibiotic therapy for treating MAC pulmonary disease (MAC-PD). However, the rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance poses significant challenges, including treatment failure and clinical recurrence.

National Clinical Research Center of Respiratory Diseases, Center for Respiratory Diseases, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing, 100029, China.
Background: Recurrent Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease (NTM-PD) related to treatment with Secukinumab has not been previously documented.
Case Presentation: Despite adherence to treatment and avoiding hot springs, a plaque psoriasis patient experienced persistent NTM-PD relapses.
Conclusions: There is potential association between Secukinumab, an IL-17A inhibitor, and NTM disease, echoing anti-TNF biologics' NTM risk, indicating the urgent need for further research on pathogenic mechanisms and risk factors.
Coinfection of gastrointestinal parasites with paratuberculosis in naturally infected sheep.

Department of Clinical Veterinary Medical Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan.
Background And Aim: subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne's disease (paratuberculosis), which is a chronic wasting disease. No previous study has been found to investigate the coinfection of gastrointestinal parasites with paratuberculosis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between paratuberculosis and gastrointestinal parasitism in naturally infected local Awassi (AS) and imported Tsurcana (TS) sheep.
