Abstract
Objectives: Mycobacterium paragordonae (MPG) is an emerging and less common type of Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and we know little about its characteristics and prognosis, hence we constructed this retrospective cohort study. Methods: MPG was identified using MALD-TOF MS, multi-target combined gene sequencing and WGS. Clinical information was collected, antimicrobial susceptibility testing was measured using the SLOMYCO panel, and optimal growth temperature testing was measured using Lowenstein-Jensen medium. Results: Eight MPGs were isolated from 1730 NTMs (0.46%); the mean age of MPG pulmonary disease (MPG-PD) patients was 42.38 ± 9.92 years, 37.5% were male, and the average BMI was 18.4 ± 0.51 kg/m2. All patients had the symptoms of cough and sputum and CT images mainly presented in patchy or streaky shadows, MPG grew at 25°C, 30°C and 37°C, and the optimal growth temperature is 37°C. MPGs were sensitive to clarithromycin, rifabutin, amikacin, linezolid, moxifloxacin, cotrimoxazole and ciprofloxacin, two isolates were resistant to rifampicin. Two patients had follow up information, their imaging remained stable during the follow-up. Conclusions: MPG-PD is a rare NTM disease and is more likely to develop in middle-aged, female, and low BMI patients. The patients present with no specific features within the symptoms as well as the CT imaging. The optimal growth temperature of MPG is at 37°C, MPG-PD has excellent sensitivity to drugs recommended by CLSI and presents with a stable disease.

communities from human‐impacted and pristine karst caves. Microbiologyopen 2022; 11:e1276. [PMID: 35478281 PMCID: PMC8988830 DOI: 10.1002/mbo3.1276] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2021] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Actinobacteria are important cave inhabitants, but knowledge of how anthropization and anthropization‐related visual marks affect this community on cave walls is lacking. We compared Actinobacteria communities among four French limestone caves (Mouflon, Reille, Rouffignac, and Lascaux) ranging from pristine to anthropized, and within Lascaux Cave between marked (wall visual marks) and unmarked areas in different rooms (Sas‐1, Passage, Apse, and Diaclase). In addition to the 16S rRNA gene marker, 441 bp fragments of the hsp65 gene were used and an hsp65‐related taxonomic database was constructed for the identification of Actinobacteria to the species level by Illumina‐MiSeq analysis. The hsp65 marker revealed higher resolution for species and higher richness (99% operational taxonomic units cutoff) versus the 16S rRNA gene; however, more taxa were identified at higher taxonomic ranks. Actinobacteria communities varied between Mouflon and Reille caves (both pristine), and Rouffignac and Lascaux (both anthropized). Rouffignac displayed high diversity of Nocardia, suggesting human inputs, and Lascaux exhibited high Mycobacterium relative abundance, whereas Gaiellales were typical in pristine caves and the Diaclase (least affected area of Lascaux Cave). Within Lascaux, Pseudonocardiaceae dominated on unmarked walls and Streptomycetaceae (especially Streptomyces mirabilis) on marked walls, indicating a possible role in mark formation. A new taxonomic database was developed. Although not all Actinobacteria species were represented, the use of the hsp65 marker enabled species‐level variations of the Actinobacteria community to be documented based on the extent of anthropogenic pressure. This approach proved effective when comparing different limestone caves or specific conditions within one cave.

Abstract
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental opportunistic pathogens of humans and animals that are emerging with a serious public health impact particularly in individuals with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndromes. Recent scientific evidence is shifting from NTMs being known as traditional environmental organisms to serious pathogenic organisms in both animals and humans. In humans, factors attributable to this rise have been linked mainly to Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome pandemic. In recent years there has been an increase in multidrug resistant Tuberculosis in Zambia and it is thought that NTMs could possibly be the cause. This study was therefore formulated to review available information on the prevalence of NTM in humans, animals and the environment, species distribution, zoonotic potential and public health importance in Zambia. This review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. A literature search was done in PubMed and Google scholar using predefined search terms such as ‘nontuberculous mycobacteria’, ‘atypical mycobacteria’, ‘mycobacteria other than mycobacterium tuberculosis’ and ‘Zambia’, in combination with Boolean operators (AND, OR). This particular systematic review draws findings based on literature search between 2000 and 2020. Through literature search 243 papers were identified, 23 duplicates were identified and removed and 206 articles were excluded as they did not meet the inclusion criteria. The full text of the remaining 14 articles were considered for this review. The overall prevalence of NTM in humans was 24.39%, in water 21.5%, in animals 16.05% of which the prevalence in cattle was 14.81% and Kafue Lechwe 1.23%. Mycobacterium intracellulare was the most common isolated nontuberculous mycobacteria in humans and cattle while Mycobacterium gordonae was the most common in water, and Mycobacterium stomatepiae sp Nov in Kafue Lechwe. Nontuberculous mycobacteria are an emerging public health threat in Zambia both in humans and animals and this calls for the need for molecular information on the zoonotic transmission of nontuberculous mycobacteria. Increased awareness of nontuberculous mycobacteria diseases among clinicians and laboratory personnel is crucial for patient management and an essential step for facilitating the identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria species in laboratories.

Germs 2021; 11:97-104. [PMID: 33898346 DOI: 10.18683/germs.2021.1245] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2020] [Revised: 01/27/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to assess the prevalence of slow growing mycobacteria (SGM) and rapid-growing mycobacteria (RGM) retrieved from hospital water sources in Iran from 2016 to 2020. Methods The review was conducted to get eligible published studies from 1st January 2016 to 25th March 2020 based on PRISMA protocol. A combination of related words from the Medical Subject Heading Terms (MeSH), with (AND, OR) were used to search for published studies reporting the prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in Scopus, MEDLINE, Web of Sciences, Google Scholar, and Iranian databases. Then data from the studies were extracted and reported. Results Our study showed that different water sources of hospitals were contaminated with NTMs. The prevalence of RGM isolates in hospital water samples varied between 42.2%-67.5%, and the prevalence of SGM varied between 32.5%-57.7%, respectively. M. lentiflavum (84.7%), M. avium complex(2.8%-56.4%)and M. gordonae (2.8%-56.2%) were the most prevalent NTM species amongst SGM, whereas M. fortuitum (2.9%-44.2%), M. chelonae (8%-36.8%), M. mucogenicum (8%-25.6%) were the most leading NTM isolates among RGM. Conclusions A high prevalence of NTM was reported from hospital environments particularly hospital water sources which can colonize medical devices, solutions, and water used for patients and cause nosocomial infection. Therefore, the hospitals should check the microbiological quality of the water used.
