Clinical significance, biochemical features, and susceptibility patterns of sporadic isolates of the Mycobacterium chelonae...

Mycobacterium chelonae-like organisms are nonpigmented rapidly growing mycobacteria whose clinical significance is unknown. We evaluated 87 sporadic isolates encountered in a clinical laboratory. Most isolates (62%) were respiratory; only 2 of 54 (4%) (both from patients with AIDS) were clinically significant. Among 33 nonrespiratory isolates, 20 of 33 (or 61%) were clinically significant. Clinical diseases included posttraumatic wound infections and catheter-related sepsis. Routine biochemical features included growth inhibition by 5% NaCl (100%), a smooth colony morphology (94%), positive 3-day arylsulfatase reaction (84%), no color or a light tan color on iron uptake (100%), and variable nitrate reduction (45%). Additional characteristics that helped to separate this group from M. chelonae and Mycobacterium abscessus were susceptibility to cephalothin (90%) and ciprofloxacin (100%), utilization of mannitol (94%) and citrate (83%) as carbon sources, and unique patterns of mycolic acid esters ...

"Characterizing the Intact Prophage of Mycobacterium chelonae Bergey " by Erica Sewell

Mycobacteriophage (phage), are viruses that infect bacteria. All bacteria can be infected by phage, and each bacterial species has a unique set of phage that infect them, making phage prime candidates for studying viral diversity and evolution. Some phage integrate their genome into the host genome upon infection (prophage), where they may potentially remain indefinitely, coevolving with the host, and providing growth factors and other benefits to the host. The purpose of my research is to characterize a prophage within the genome of the bacterial host Mycobacterium chelonae Bergey to determine if it is still functional and potentially impacting the fitness of the host bacterium. Characterization of this prophage has revealed that multiple genes are conserved with regard to both the DNA and protein sequences. The integrase cassette is highly conserved, complete with integrase and two potential repressors, suggesting the phage may be capable of excising from the host genome. Multiple structural genes

Clinical relevance of Mycobacterium chelonae-abscessus group isolation in 95 patients.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the clinical relevance of Mycobacterium chelonae-abscessus group isolation from clinical samples. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed medical files of all patients from whom these mycobacteria were isolated between January 1999 and January 2005 and re-identified the isolates by rpoB sequencing. We applied the American Thoracic Society (ATS) diagnostic criteria to establish clinical relevance. RESULTS: Ninety-five patients were traced (56 M. chelonae, 25 Mycobacterium abscessus, 8 Mycobacterium massiliense, 6 Mycobacterium bolletii). Most isolates were cultured from pulmonary samples in patients with pre-existing pulmonary disease. Among patients with pulmonary isolates, 27% (20/74) meets ATS criteria; M. abscessus is most relevant (50%; 9/18), followed by M. massiliense (29%; 2/7), M. bolletii (20%; 1/5) and M. chelonae (18%; 8/44). Extrapulmonary disease presented as disseminated skin disease, eye disease specific for M. chelonae and otomastoiditis for M. abscessus. ...

The activities of eight quinolones (ciprofloxacin, clinafloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, A-80556, sparfloxacin, temafloxacin and tosufloxacin) and three macrolides (azithromycin, clarithromycin and erythromycin) against 98 clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and 120 isolates of five different atypical mycobacterial species including 20 Mycobacterium kansasii, 25 Mycobacterium scrofulaceum, 25 Mycobacterium avium/intracellulare, 25 Mycobacterium chelonae and 25 Mycobacterium fortuitum were determined with the Middlebrook 7H9 broth macrodilution method. Sparfloxacin, clinafloxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin were active against M. tuberculosis (MIC90 0.06-0.5 mg/L; MBC90 0.125-2.0 mg/L). However, higher MIC90S and MBC90S of these quinolones were obtained for strains of multi-drug resistant M. tuberculosis. The macrolides tested had poor activity against M. tuberculosis isolates (MIC90 , 8.0 mg/L). Furthermore, high MIC90S of the quinolones and macrolides (2.0 to 8.0 ...

Mycobacterial arthritis and synovitis in painted reed frogs (Hyperolius marmoratus)

Several species of atypical mycobacteria have been isolated from wild and captive amphibians. In captive anurans, cutaneous and visceral mycobacteriosis are common and can result in significant mortality, particularly when animals are immunocompromised. Mycobacterial arthritis and synovitis are reported rarely in amphibians. We describe 20 cases in painted reed frogs (Hyperolius marmoratus), which presented with cachexia, limb paresis or paralysis or spindly leg syndrome. Histopathology revealed multifocal histiocytic to granulomatous synovitis affecting appendicular, rib or spinal intervertebral joints. Periarticular granulomata, granulomatous cellulitis and skeletal muscle atrophy, necrosis and degeneration were also present. In one case, granulomatous spinal osteomyelitis was recorded. ZiehleNeelsen stains showed large numbers of acid-fast bacteria in macrophages and histiocytes. The mycobacterial isolates obtained from culture were identified as members of the Mycobacterium chelonae ...

Mycobacterium mucogenicum bacteremia: major role of clinical microbiologists | BMC Infectious Diseases | Full Text

Mycobacterium mucogenicum is a rare but emerging cause of infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. We describe a new case of M. mucogenicum catheter-related bloodstream infection in a 34-year-old woman with ovarian cancer. M. mucogenicum was at first considered as a contaminant, and susceptibility testing was not performed. Usual susceptibility of M. mucogenicum motivated prescription of clarithromycin and moxifloxacin. Finally, our isolate was confirmed susceptible to both drugs. Clinical outcome was favorable with no relapse of infection after antibiotics discontinuation despite concomitant chemotherapy. Our case illustrates the need for a clinician-microbiologist dialogue in case of suspected M. mucogenicum infection to avoid delaying appropriate management.

Activities of ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin against rapidly growing mycobacteria with demonstration of acquired resistance...

The susceptibility to ciprofloxacin of 548 clinical isolates of rapidly growing mycobacteria belonging to eight subgroups or species was determined. The 170 isolates of Mycobacterium fortuitum biovar.fortuitum were most susceptible; the MIC for 90% of the organisms was 0.125 micrograms/ml. The other biovariants of M. fortuitum, M. smegmatis, and the M. chelonae-like organisms were less susceptible; the modal MIC was 0.5 micrograms/ml, and the MIC for 90% of organisms was 1.0 micrograms/ml. The two subspecies of M. chelonae were generally resistant, with only 8% of 206 isolates falling in the moderately susceptible category (MIC, 2 micrograms/ml) and only 2% falling in the susceptible category (MIC, less than or equal to 1 micrograms/ml). MICs of ofloxacin averaged 1 to 2 dilutions higher than those of ciprofloxacin for all subgroups tested. Three patients with M. fortuitum cutaneous disease relapsed after an initial response to therapy with ciprofloxacin, and their isolate was shown to have ...

Multisite Reproducibility of Results Obtained by the Broth Microdilution Method for Susceptibility Testing ofMycobacterium...

Susceptibility testing of clinically significant isolates of the rapidly growing mycobacteria is recommended because these organisms differ in susceptibility to the antimicrobial agents commonly used for therapy (2, 4, 11-16). Based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, many laboratories in the United States do such testing by a variety of methods (21). No standardized susceptibility test method currently exists for the rapidly growing mycobacteria, but investigators who have studiedM. abscessus, M. chelonae, and the M. fortuitum group extensively recommend broth microdilution testing (3, 11, 12). Data concerning other species of rapidly growing mycobacteria are very limited. Because of variability in the appearance of growth of M. abscessus, M. chelonae, and the M. fortuitum group in microdilution trays, unlike most bacterial isolates, interpretation of the MIC may be difficult. The primary focus of our study, therefore, was to evaluate the reproducibility of the broth ...

The distinct fate of smooth and rough Mycobacterium abscessus variants inside macrophages • Research - Institut Pasteur

Mycobacterium abscessus is a pathogenic, rapidly growing mycobacterium responsible for pulmonary and cutaneous infections in immunocompetent patients and in patients with Mendelian disorders, such as cystic fibrosis (CF). Mycobacterium abscessus is known to transition from a smooth (S) morphotype with cell surface-associated glycopeptidolipids (GPL) to a rough (R) morphotype lacking GPL. Herein, we show that M. abscessus S and R variants are able to grow inside macrophages and are present in morphologically distinct phagosomes. The S forms are found mostly as single bacteria within phagosomes characterized by a tightly apposed phagosomal membrane and the presence of an electron translucent zone (ETZ) surrounding the bacilli. By contrast, infection with the R form leads to phagosomes often containing more than two bacilli, surrounded by a loose phagosomal membrane and lacking the ETZ. In contrast to the R variant, the S variant is capable of restricting intraphagosomal acidification and induces less

Mycobacterium abscessus multispacer sequence typing | BMC Microbiology | Full Text

Analysis of the reference M. abscessus ATCC 19977 complete genome sequence yielded 3538 intergenic spacers with , 300 spacers were 200-700 bp in length. Successful PCR sequencing was achieved for 8 spacers in all the isolates studied; the sequences were deposited in the GenBank database (GenBank accession: KC352850 - KC352890). In M. abscessus isolates, including the 37 sequenced genomes, the spacer sequence variability was generated by one to 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (spacers n°1 and n°8), one to 18 SNPs and one to two nucleotide deletions (spacer n°2), one to two SNPs (spacers n°3 and n°7) and nucleotide insertion (spacers n°2 and n°5). In "M. bolletii" isolates, the spacer sequence polymorphisms were generated by one SNP for spacer n°1, two SNPs and one deletion for spacer n°2, two SNPs for spacer n°3 and nine SNPs for spacer n°7. In "M. massiliense" isolates, including 28 sequenced genomes, the spacer sequence polymorphism were generated by nine SNPs and one ...

A full timers journal - June 2012

During her previous stay in the hospital they identified a bacteria, Mycobacterium abscessus, which is a hard to treat bacteria that acts like TB, but isnt TB. She has a bad infection in her left lung with this bacteria and possibly a lesser infection in her other lung. They do have a treatment for this but I think its more a control it treatment than a cure. The cure is to get rid of the bad lungs and replace them with healthy ones. Once thats done this bacteria wont have a home it likes any more and will die off with the treatment theyre doing now. Its a 6 to 8 week treatment and then we test again to see if the drugs have gotten it under control. If they have then theres a very good probability that they will reactivate her (right now shes on the inactive list) and well be back to waiting for a new pair of lungs. If they cant get it under control they cant do the transplant. If they can control the bug they can turn off her immune system, treat her for this bacteria and eliminate ...

In Vitro Susceptibilities of Rapidly Growing Mycobacteria to Telithromycin (HMR 3647) and Seven Other Antimicrobials |...

Among the rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM), the members of the Mycobacterium fortuitum complex are the species most often associated with human infections (11). Therapy of these infections is quite different from the treatment of tuberculosis and also from the treatment of disease caused by other, slowly growing mycobacteria (2). There are many differences in the susceptibility of the members of this group of mycobacteria in published studies, and several of them revealed that in vitro susceptibility correlates with clinical response to therapy (10). Here we report a study of the in vitro susceptibility of these species to some antimicrobials, including newly developed ones.. A total of 94 (Mycobacterium fortuitum [48 strains],Mycobacterium chelonae [25 strains], Mycobacterium mucogenicum [3 strains], Mycobacterium peregrinum[12 strains], and Mycobacterium abscessus [6 strains]) strains of RGM isolated from clinical samples were tested. Prior to testing, strains were subcultured, checked for ...

'Outbreak' of Bacterial Infection from Tainted Tattoo Ink - ADIO...

Contaminated ink has instigated a number of bacterial infections of the skin in and around the location of tattoos.. According to a research study published in the New England Journal of Medicine[1. http://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMoa1205114], a certain type of tattoo ink was found to contain nontuberculous mycobacterium chelonae, bacteria the study describes as "atypical" and "uncommon." The bacteria caused a bumpy red rash at the site of the tattoo design within three weeks of getting the tattoo, affecting people from 18 to 48 years old.. The specific ink, known as gray wash, is diluted with water to provide shading or a three-dimensional feel to tattoo designs. Gray wash can be diluted to varying degrees, but the real issue is how it is diluted.. These bacterial infections were not due to a contaminated environment, as the tattoo parlor passed all health inspections. Rather, the ink manufacturer diluted the gray wash with unsterile water prior to distributing the ink, according to the ...

Risks | BME: Tattoo, Piercing and Body Modification News | Page 2

After reports of long-term rashes from tattoos, a CDC investigation showed it to be Mycobacterium chelonae, a hardy and fast-growing bacteria that can be found in tap water. It can lead not just to rashes (technically this is a "granulomatous inflammation"), but cellulitis, difficult-to-treat infections, and abscesses are possible as well. It is especially dangerous for immunosuppressed people, for example those with HIV/AIDS. In addition, and this must be noted in the age of eye tattoos, ocular keratitis and related conditions can occur, as the eye has specific weaknesses in regards to this bacteria. The rash-type infections are quite common in tattoos, and can come and go in some people as they flare up in certain conditions with itchiness, sometimes painful, and small raised bumps, often with redness, although this may not always be visible in the case of a solid tattoo, especially blackwork. It typically starts two to three weeks after the tattoo is done, but can also take longer. Assorted ...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis associated with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and steroid therapy |...

In the current study, six out of 139 CF patients, suffering from NTM disease, mainly due to M. abscessus, are described. It was found that ABPA and systemic steroid therapy were associated with this complication. As this is a rare condition, the series of patients with NTM reported in this study is small, and, therefore, the statistical analysis must remain weak at best. Nevertheless, it is believed that this experience underlines an important and challenging clinical aspect in CF.. NTM infection appears to be an emerging disease. A clinical microbiology laboratory in Israel reported that NTM and, in particular, the species M. chelonae (of which M. abscessus was previously considered a subspecies), M. fortuitum and M. simiae are increasing in incidence 19. During 1996-1999, 135 specimens from 9,391 patients cultured positive for NTM. Of these, five patients had M. chelonae. Between 2000 and 2003, 364 out of 9,031 patients were culture positive for NTM (p,0.0001) and, of these, 51 had M. chelonae ...

Identification of genes required for Mycobacterium abscessus growth in vivo with a prominent role of the ESX-4 locus |...

Mycobacterium abscessus, a rapidly growing mycobacterium (RGM) and an opportunistic human pathogen, is responsible for a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations ranging from pulmonary to skin and soft tissue infections. This intracellular organism can resist the bactericidal defense mechanisms of amoebae and macrophages, an ability that has not been observed in other RGM. M. abscessus can up-regulate several virulence factors during transient infection of amoebae, thereby becoming more virulent in subsequent respiratory infections in mice. Here, we sought to identify the M. abscessus genes required for replication within amoebae. To this end, we constructed and screened a transposon (Tn) insertion library of an M. abscessus subspecies massiliense clinical isolate for attenuated clones. This approach identified five genes within the ESX-4 locus, which in M. abscessus encodes an ESX-4 type VII secretion system that exceptionally also includes the ESX conserved EccE component. To confirm the ...

Clinical and Microbiologic Outcomes in Patients Receiving Treatment for Mycobacterium abscessus Pulmonary Disease : Clinical...

Background. Mycobacterium abscessus can produce a chronic pulmonary infection for which little is known regarding optimal treatment and long-term outcomes.. Methods. We performed a retrospective observational study (2001-2008) including all patients who met American Thoracic Society criteria for M. abscessus pulmonary disease. Our aim was the evaluation of clinical and microbiologic outcomes in patients treated with combined antibiotic and surgical therapy, compared with antibiotic therapy alone.. Results. A total of 107 patients were included in the analysis. Patients were predominantly female (83%) and never-smokers (60%), with a mean age of 60 years. Fifty-nine (55%) of 107 patients had coexistent or previous history of Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary infection. High-resolution chest CT showed bronchiectasis and nodular opacities in 98% of patients and cavities in 44%. Sixy-nine (46 medical, 23 surgical) patients were followed up for a mean duration of 34 months (standard deviation, ...

Cystic Fibrosis Unite | Cystic fibrosis CFBE41o‐ cells contain TLR1 SNP I602S and fail to respond to Mycobacterium abscessus

What did you find?. Receptors on cell surfaces are analogous to antennae, sensing what is in the local environment. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are linked at the cell surface and recognize NTM. We found that CFBE41o‐ cells do not respond to M. abscessus due to a variation in the gene. This variation is called I602S and renders TLR1 nonfunctional. It is very common in Caucasians of northern European ancestry, the same population in which the CF ΔF508 is common, and it influences susceptibility to infection with other mycobacteria. ...

P115 Epidemiology, Characteristics and Management of Non Tuberculous Mycobacteria in a Devon Population | Thorax

Results Data was obtained from 74 new isolations, with a total of 11 different species of NTM identified. Patients presenting had a median age of 68 and a range of 8-88 years. 39(53%) were female and 46 (62%) were "one-off" isolates. M. Avium-intracellulare (MAI) was the most frequently reported isolate (42 cases, 57%) followed by M. Chelonae (8, 11%) and M. Xenopi (6, 8%). The majority (68, 92%) of isolates were pulmonary with 45(66%) of these found in standard sputum culture. Most frequently recorded co-morbidities were bronchiectasis (35 cases, 47%) and COPD (20, 27%). Of the total of 74 cases only 24 (32%) had received treatment by the time of our survey. The overall rates for eradication and subsequent relapse in those treated patients were 50% and 25% respectively for the total population and 57% and 38% for those with MAI. At completion of the study the mortality rate within 2 years of the first positive sample was 18%.. ...

Mycobacterium abscessus in Healthcare Settings | HAI | CDC

Skin infected with M. abscessus is usually red, warm, tender to the touch, swollen, and/or painful. Infected areas can also develop boils or pus-filled vesicles. Other signs of M. abscessus infection are fever, chills, muscle aches, and a general feeling of illness. However, for a definite diagnosis, the organism has to be cultured from the infection site or, in severe cases, from a blood culture. A medical provider should evaluate the infection to determine if it may be due to M. abscessus.. Diagnosis is made by growing this bacterium in the laboratory from a sample of the pus or biopsy of the infected area. When the infection is severe, the bacterium can be found in the blood and isolated from a blood sample. To make the diagnosis, your healthcare provider will have to take a sample from the infected area and/or blood and send it to a laboratory for identification. It is important that persons who have any evidence of infection at a site where they received procedures, such as surgery or ...

Mycobacterium abscessus Prosthetic Joint Infections of the Knee

NTM species are ubiquitous organisms found in the environment. The source of the bacterium was not identified in this case, but the two possible sources of infection are his prior corticosteroid injections or initial TKA surgery. The use of contaminated injections inoculation during the process of mixing the steroids, or upon the injection procedure have been reported sources of joint and cutaneous infections for NTMI.[1] Contamination during the procedure or early post-op soilage of surgical field, application of infected prosthesis, use of contaminated water, or shedding from transient NTM colonization can all be other causes of an NTMI.[2] In an investigation of an outbreak of NTM PJI in Oregon from 2010 - 2016, infections were even associated with the presence of a surgical instrument representative present in the operating room during the procedures.[3]. Review of the literature [4-9] yields a total of 7 additional cases of M. abscessus PJI of the knee (Table S1). The clinical presentations ...

Trehalose polyphleates, external cell wall lipids in Mycobacterium abcessus, are associated with the formation of clumps with cording morphology, which have been associated with virulence" by M. Llorens-Fons, M. Pérez-Trujillo, E. Julián, C. Brambilla, F. Alcaide, T. F. Byrd and M. Luquin. Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017, 8:1402. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2017.01402. Mycobacterium abscessus is a reemerging pathogen that causes pulmonary diseases similar to tuberculosis, which is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. When grown in agar medium, M. abscessus strains generate rough (R) or smooth colonies (S). R morphotypes are more virulent than S morphotypes. In searching for the virulence factors responsible for this difference, R morphotypes have been found to form large aggregates (clumps) that, after being phagocytozed, result in macrophage death. Furthermore, the aggregates released to the extracellular space by damaged macrophages grow, forming unphagocytosable structures that ...

Mycobacterium abscessus is an important hospital-acquired pathogen involved in infections associated with medical, surgical, and biopharmaceutical materials. In this work, we investigated the pressure-induced inactivation of two strains [2544 and American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 19977] of M. abscessus in combination with different temperatures and pH conditions. For strain 2544, exposure to 250 MPa for 90 min did not significantly inactivate the bacteria at 20 A degrees C, whereas at -15 A degrees C, there was complete inactivation. Exposure to 250 MPa at a parts per thousand yen60 A degrees C caused rapid inactivation, with no viable bacteria after 45 min. With 45 min of exposure, there were no viable bacteria at any temperature when a higher pressure (350 MPa) was used. Extremes of pH (4 or 9) also markedly enhanced the pressure-induced inactivation of bacteria at 250 MPa, with complete inactivation after 45 min.

Mycobacterium abscessus - Wikipedia

Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC) is a group of rapidly growing, multidrug-resistant non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species that are common soil and water contaminants. Although M. abscessus complex most commonly cause chronic lung infection and skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI), the complex can also cause infection in almost all human organs, mostly in patients with suppressed immune systems. Amongst NTM species responsible for disease, infection caused by M. abscesses complex are more difficult to treat due to antimicrobial drug resistance. M. abscessus cells are gram-positive, nonmotile, acid-fast rods of about 1.0 - 2.5 µm long by 0.5 µm wide.

Mesotherapy - Wikipedia

Mesotherapy treatments have been performed throughout Europe, South America, and more recently the United States for over fifty years. However physicians have expressed concern over the efficacy of mesotherapy, arguing that the treatment hasnt been studied enough to make a determination. The primary issue is that mesotherapy for the treatment of cosmetic conditions hasnt been the subject of gold standard clinical trials; however the procedure has been studied for the pain relief of other ailments, such as tendonitis, tendon calcification, dental procedures, cancer, cervicobrachialgia, arthritis, lymphedema, and venous stasis.[2] Further, there have been case series and numerous medical papers on the mesotherapy as a cosmetic treatment, as well as studies that employ the ingredients used in mesotherapy.[2] The other side of the debate is expressed by Rod Rohrich, M.D., Chairman, Dept. of Plastic Surgery, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas: "There is simply no data, no ...

Phage Therapy Win: Mycobacterium Infection Halted

The first phage that they identified, named "Muddy", killed the strain of Mycobacterium abscessus isolated from the patient very efficiently, with no modifications necessary. However, the second and third phages (named ZoeJ and BPs) were genetically engineered using technology that the Hatfull lab has developed over the last decade. The researchers were able to delete the key protein that switches the phages from their lytic (killing) state to their lysogenic (dormant stage marked by the integration of the phage genome into the bacterial chromosome) state. This genetic deletion locked the phages into their lytic mode and created more efficient bacterial killers. For the phage BPs, the researchers went a step further and screened the phages to isolate a mutant that was able to infect the particular isolate from the patient.. Their method of engineering, adds Hatfull, allowed them to precisely delete the genes without leaving scars or additional material. This was important because the phages are ...
