Emergence and spread of a human-transmissible multidrug-resistant nontuberculous mycobacterium

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used whole-genome analysis of a global collection of clinical isolates to show that the majority of M. abscessus infections are acquired through transmission, potentially via fomites and aerosols, of recently emerged dominant circulating clones.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Rise of Non-Tuberculosis Mycobacterial Lung Disease

TL;DR: The incidence and number of deaths from non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease have been steadily increasing globally and due to climate change, the Tropics are expanding which will increase NTM infection regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Antibiotic-Target-Modifying and Antibiotic-Modifying Enzymes in Mycobacterium abscessus Drug Resistance.

TL;DR: Better knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of drug resistance in M. abscessus could improve selection of more effective chemotherapeutic regimen and promote development of novel antimicrobials which can overwhelm the existing resistance mechanisms.

Incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease in a Large U.S. Managed Care Health Plan, 2008-2015

TL;DR: The incidence and prevalence of NTM lung disease appears to be increasing in the United States, particularly among women and older age groups, and overall at the national level.

Rapid identification of mycobacteria to the species level by polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme analysis.

TL;DR: A method for the rapid identification of mycobacteria to the species level was developed on the basis of evaluation by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the gene encoding for the 65-kDa protein.

Mitochondrial ribosomal RNA mutation associated with both antibiotic-induced and non-syndromic deafness.

TL;DR: This study offers the first description of a mitochondrial rRNA mutation leading to disease, the first cases of non–syndromic deafness caused by a mitochondrial DNA mutation and the first molecular genetic study of antibiotic–induced ototoxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Azithromycin and the risk of cardiovascular death.

TL;DR: There was a small absolute increase in cardiovascular deaths, which was most pronounced among patients with a high baseline risk of cardiovascular disease and patients in the highest decile of risk for cardiovascular disease.
