TL;DR: An elevation of the MAC variant was proposed and characterized here, with the name Mycobacterium chimaera sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of INNO-LiPA MYCOBACTERIA v2: improved reverse hybridization multiple DNA probe assay for mycobacterial identification.
TL;DR: An assessment of a reverse hybridization DNA probe assay (Innogenetics, Ghent, Belgium) revealed 100% specificity and sensitivity for 20 out of 23 probes, and the overall sensitivity was 94.4%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the BDProbeTec ET system for direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pulmonary and extrapulmonary samples: a multicenter study.
TL;DR: The BDProbeTec ET system, a strand displacement amplification-based technique, was evaluated for direct detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 867 clinical samples, with good results in sensitivity and specificity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mycobacterium florentinum sp. nov., isolated from humans
Enrico Tortoli,Laura Rindi,Khye Seng Goh,Marja Leena Katila,Alessandro Mariottini,Romano Mattei,Gianna Mazzarelli,Sini Suomalainen,Pirjo Torkko,Nalin Rastogi +9 more
TL;DR: Eight mycobacterial strains isolated during an 11 year period from the sputum of independent patients with various pulmonary disorders and, in one case, from a lymph node of a young girl, were found to present identical features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infections Due to the Newly Described Species Mycobacterium parascrofulaceum
Enrico Tortoli,Leonardo Chianura,Lionella Fabbro,Alessandro Mariottini,Nuria Martín-Casabona,Gianna Mazzarelli,Cristina Russo,Mario Spinelli +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that M. parascrofulaceum is an opportunistic pathogen, like many other nontuberculous mycobacterial species.
