Mesotherapy and cutaneous Mycobacterium fortuitum infection.

30 May 2009 BACKGROUND: Cutaneous infections caused by Mycobacterium fortuitum usually are a complication of trauma or postsurgical wounds. CASE REPORT: A 41-year-old woman presented with numerous dusky red nodules, abscesses and sinuses on the right buttock ... Read more...

Characterisation of porin genes from Mycobacterium fortuitum and their impact on growth.

7 Feb 2009 BACKGROUND: Highly pathogenic mycobacteria like Mycobacterium tuberculosis are characterised by their slow growth and their ability to reside and multiply in the very hostile phagosomal environment and a correlation between the growth rate of ... Read more...

Screening for sterilizing activity of antibiotic combinations in an acid model of rapidly growing mycobacteria during the stationary phase of growth.

19 Jan 2009 BACKGROUND: In view of the problems of correlation between the data provided by classical microbiological studies and clinical response, we designed an in vitro method to screen for the sterilizing activity of various antibiotics, individually or in ... Read more...
