Our results also indicated that each of the taxa mentioned above is worthy of species status within the complex. The name Mycobacterium austroafricanum sp. nov. is proposed for the South African isolates, and the characteristics of these isolates are described; the type strain is E9789-SA12441 (= ATCC 33464). The name Mycobacterium diernhoferi is revived for the organism described originally by Bonicke and Juhasz in 1965; the type strain of this species is strain 41001 (= ATCC 19340).

The inclusion of this organism in the genus Mycobacterium is based on its acid-alcohol fastness, its DNA G+C content, its mycolate pattern, and its mycolate pyrolysis esters. A study of 11 strains showed that they form a homogeneous group with an internal phenotypic similarity value of 94.9 +, 3.7%. The results of a comparison with 39 other mycobacterial species and subspecies are also presented. DNA relatedness studies showed that the M. brumae strains studied form a single DNA hybridization group which is less than 30% related to 15 other species of the genus Mycobacterium.

  • Utilization of Molecular and Conventional Methods for the Identification of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Different Water Sources
    [Downloaded free from http://www.ijmyco.org on Monday, June 4, 2018, IP: 200.41.178.226] Original Article Utilization of Molecular and Conventional Methods for the Identification of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Different Water Sources Claudia Andrea Tortone1, Martín José Zumárraga2, Andrea Karina Gioffré2, Delia Susana Oriani1 1Laboratory of Mycobacteria, Faculty of Veterinary Sciences, National University of La Pampa, General Pico, La Pampa, 2Biotechnology Institute, National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA), Hurlingham, Buenos Aires, Argentina Abstract Background: The environment is the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) reservoir, opportunistic pathogens of great diversity and ubiquity, which is observed in the constant description of new species capable of causing infection. Since its introduction, molecular methods are essential for species identification. Most comparative studies between molecular and conventional methods, have used isolated strains from clinical samples. Methods: The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of molecular methods, especially the hsp65‑PRA (PCR‑Restriction Enzyme Analysis), and biochemical tests in the identification of NTM recovered from water of different origins, using the sequencing of 16S rRNA and hsp65 genes as assessment methods of the previous ones. Species identification was performed for all 56 NTM isolates what were recovered from 32 (42.1%) positive water samples, using conventional phenotypic methods, hsp65‑PRA, partial sequencing of 16S rRNA and sequencing

  • Prevalence of the Gene Lsr2 Among the Genus Mycobacterium and an Investigation Into Changes in Biofilm Formation When Inactivat
    Prevalence of the gene lsr2 among the genus Mycobacterium and an investigation into changes in biofilm formation when inactivating lsr2 regulated genes in Mycobacterium smegmatis A Thesis SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Wayne C. Gatlin III IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE John L. Dahl October, 2014 © Wayne Gatlin 2014 i Acknowledgements I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to my advisor Dr. John L. Dahl, whose guidance and sense of wonder invigorated my own scientific curiosities. Dr. Dahl showed me how science can be a multidisciplinary experience that feeds off all forms of the arts. I would also like to thank Dr. Dahl for showing me how to be a good teacher, of which he is the gold standard. ii Abstract There are many Mycobacterium species found throughout the world, some capable of causing human disease or industrial problems. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is arguably the most infamous, however, there are over 150 other species of Mycobacterium that have also been identified. Many mycobacterium are capable of forming biofilms, which are complex matrixes of bacterial cells that can adhere to surfaces. Recently, a strain of Mycobacterium smegmatis was characterized that lacked the ability to form biofilms. This phenotype has been linked to a mutation leading to the absence of the DNA bridging protein Lsr2. This study describes the further characterization of the role the lsr2 gene plays in biofilm formation in M. smegmatis and the prevalence of the gene among other species of the genus Mycobacterium. This study reports that lsr2 is found in 46 of 52 Mycobacterial species tested.

  • Efflux Pump Inhibitors Against Nontuberculous Mycobacteria
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Efflux Pump Inhibitors against Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Laura Rindi Dipartimento di Ricerca Traslazionale e delle Nuove Tecnologie in Medicina e Chirurgia, Università di Pisa, I-56127 Pisa, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-050-2213-688; Fax: +39-050-2213-682 Received: 28 May 2020; Accepted: 10 June 2020; Published: 12 June 2020 Abstract: Over the last years, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as important human pathogens. Infections caused by NTM are often difficult to treat due to an intrinsic multidrug resistance for the presence of a lipid-rich outer membrane, thus encouraging an urgent need for the development of new drugs for the treatment of mycobacterial infections. Efflux pumps (EPs) are important elements that are involved in drug resistance by preventing intracellular accumulation of antibiotics. A promising strategy to decrease drug resistance is the inhibition of EP activity by EP inhibitors (EPIs), compounds that are able to increase the intracellular concentration of antimicrobials. Recently, attention has been focused on identifying EPIs in mycobacteria that could be used in combination with drugs. The aim of the present review is to provide an overview of the current knowledge on EPs and EPIs in NTM and also, the effect of potential EPIs as well as their combined use with antimycobacterial drugs in various NTM species are described. Keywords: efflux pump inhibitor; nontuberculous mycobacteria; drug resistance; Mycobacterium avium complex; Mycobacterium abscessus 1. Introduction Infections by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) represent a relevant problem for human health in many countries in the world. NTM, consisting of all Mycobacterium species except for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and Mycobacterium leprae, are a group of over 180 environmental species, generally endowed with low pathogenicity to humans [1,2].
