Micobacterias ambientales en España: aislamientos en el período 1976-1996

Heat‐killed Mycolicibacterium aurum Aogashima: An environmental nonpathogenic actinobacteria under development as a safe novel food ingredient

“…Mycolicibacter terrae), Mycolicibacillus (type species: Mycolicibacillus trivialis), Mycobacteroides (type species: Mycobacteroides abscessus), and Mycolicibacterium (type species: Mycolicibacterium fortuitum) (Gupta et al, 2018). The genus Mycolicibacterium encompasses rapidly growing NTB species, many of which have routinely been isolated from municipal water supplies (Falkinham et al, 2001;Falkinham, 2009;Fernandez-Rendon et al, 2012;Imwidthaya et al, 1989;Kubalek & Mysak, 1996;Le Dantec et al, 2002a, 2002bMartın et al, 2000;Moghim et al, 2012;Nasr-Esfahani et al, 2012;Pontiroli et al, 2013;Scarlata et al, 1985;Vaerewijck et al, 2005).…”

Pseudo-outbreak of Mycobacterium gordonae: usefulness of randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis to assess the clonality of the isolates

“…M. gordonae is a common isolate in many mycobacteriology laboratories throughout the world, including Spain, but is considered to be a contaminant in most cases [10]. Occasional pseudo‐outbreaks caused by this species have been described previously [2,6,7], but other mycobacteria (especially rapidly growing species) have been implicated more frequently as the cause of pseudo‐outbreaks.…”

Simultaneous Identification of Mycobacterium Genus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex in Clinical Samples by 5′-Exonuclease Fluorogenic PCR

“…Worldwide, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) is responsible for more than 2 million deaths and 8 million new cases of disease every year (41). On the other hand, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a major cause of opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals, such as AIDS patients (11,25,32). Consequently, early detection and identification of the type of mycobacteria are required for achieving optimal therapy and correct patient management.…”
