Meagre () is one of the fast-growing species considered for sustainable aquaculture development along the Mediterranean and Eastern Atlantic coasts. The emergence of Systemic Granulomatosis (SG), a disease marked by multiple granulomas in various tissues, poses a significant challenge in meagre aquaculture. In the current study, we investigate the association of spp.

Background: Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease (PD) is a significant concern in China, compounding the existing burden of TB. This review aims to summarise the treatment outcomes for NTM-PD in China.
Methods: We reviewed the evidence on NTM-PD, including treatment regimens and clinical outcomes, from 17 studies identified through screening of three Chinese biomedical databases.

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) due to nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is a rare infection, and several outbreaks have been reported in the last 2 decades. However, the clinical spectrum is still poorly understood. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes in NTM IE.

Background: Driveline infections (DLI) caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in patients with implantable left ventricular assist devices (iLVAD) are rare but fatal, requiring early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Herein, we present a rare case of DLI caused by Mycobacterium chelonae, which was promptly diagnosed using Gram stain and Ziehl-Neelsen stain and followed a favorable clinical course.
Case Presentation: A 51-year-old man with an iLVAD complicated by DLI was admitted to our center.

Background: Mycobacterium chelonae is a rare cause of infective endocarditis that is difficult to diagnose and treat. After we found M chelonae in a series of patients, we aimed to investigate its role in cardiovascular prosthesis dysfunction and contamination of bioprostheses as a possible cause of infection.
Methods: In this collaborative microbiological study, we report on nine patients treated in three cardiovascular surgical departments in Germany, who were found to have M chelonae infection after receiving BioIntegral bioprostheses.

Introduction: With a projected mortality toll of 1.4 million in 2019, tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a significant public health concern around the world. Studies of novel treatments are required due to decreased bioavailability, increased toxicity, increased side effects, and resistance of several first- and second-line TB therapies, including isoniazid and ethionamide.

Objectives: This study aims to develop a novel diagnostic approach using the recombinase aided amplification-lateral flow dipstick(RAA-LFD) assay for the distinction of (MTB) and (MAC), enabling rapid and convenient as well as accurate identification of them in clinical samples.
Methods: Our study established a duplex RAA-LFD assay capable of discriminating between MTB and MAC. Based on the principles of RAA primer and probe design, specific primers and probes were developed targeting the MTB and the MAC separately.

Non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) infection can cause a broad range of pathology, especially in an immunocompromised patient. We report a case of ascending lower extremity nodules in a renal transplant patient that were found to be caused by , an NTM. We discuss the clinical evaluation and workup of this patient and why NTM infections may require a high degree of clinical suspicion to properly diagnose and treat.

Background: Tuberculosis in cattle is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) species. Apart from MTBC, different Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) species have also been isolated from cattle. The presence of NTM infection in bovines makes the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) a cumbersome task.

We investigated the rise of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections in Bulgaria, focusing on species identification and distribution from 2018 to 2022. Utilizing advanced diagnostic tools, including the Hain Mycobacterium CM/AS method, Myco-biochip assay, and whole-genome sequencing, the study identifies and characterizes a diverse range of species from clinical samples. While , , , and were dominating, a number of rare species were also found.

Background: Tuberculous pleurisy (TP) is one of the most common types of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, often secondary to tuberculosis (TB). Clinical and imaging manifestations of non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary diseases (NTM-PD) are usually similar to those of tuberculosis. Because of their similarity and the high incidence of tuberculosis, non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections are often overlooked for a long time.

Background: It is essential to control the microbiology of dental unit water lines (DUWs) to prevent the spread of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and associated oral diseases. Therefore, the objective of this study was to quantify the presence of NTM in the water of 112 DUWs from dental centers and 57 DUWs from individual dental offices in Tehran, Iran.
Methods: A total of 169 water samples were collected from DUWs.
