Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are emerging opportunistic pathogens with limited treatment options due to resistance to multiple antibiotic classes. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro activity of omadacycline and comparator antibiotics against rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) clinical isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) evaluation of RGM clinical isolates was performed by two independent laboratories (EU and Japan).

Potentially zoonotic Mycobacterium spp. are impacting freshwater ornamental fish in Trinidad and Tobago. Clinical cases presented at the Aquatic Animal Health Unit of The University of the West Indies, School of Veterinary Medicine, from September 2011 to September 2018 indicated the presence of piscine mycobacteriosis in freshwater ornamental fish from locations throughout Trinidad and Tobago.

Four novel nontuberculous mycobacteria were discovered from a historical strain collection at the International Reference Laboratory of Mycobacteriology at Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, Denmark. Phylogenetic analysis combining the 16S , internal transcribed spacer and 23S elements, as well as a single-copy core-gene (, , and ) analysis of these freeze-dried mycobacteria, clinically isolated from gastric lavage samples between 1948 and 1955, showed to be associated with type strains grouping within the Terra and Fortuitum-Vaccae clade. Phenotypic characteristics, biochemical properties and fatty acid and mycolic acid profiles supported the classification as novel strains.

is a Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) belonging to the group, often associated with veterinary diseases, such as bovine farcy. However, it can also cause human infections and appears to be involved in Catheter-Associated Infections in immunocompromised patients. Here, we report the first Italian isolation of a strain of from a 16-year-old oncological female patient being treated at Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Pavia (Italy).

Introduction The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is higher in patients with structural lung disease and in immunocompromised patients. Lung involvement is the most common. The complex corresponds to the most identified agent.
