We have demonstrated that recombinant human TNF activates human macrophages to kill intracellular bacteria of the Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) in a dose-related manner. TNF also primed macrophages to produce superoxide anion (O2-) following treatment with phorbol esther PMA (0.1 micrograms/ml)....

One group of such pathogenic environmental mycobacteria is the Mycobacterium avium Complex (MAC) causing infections in immunocompromised people, especially with HIV and AIDS. With the development of the Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies, a large number of mycobacterial genomes are being ...
Bacteria of the class Mollicutes encompass the smallest and simplest self-replicating bacteria. They are characterized by the absence of cell wall and a small, streamlined genome, as a result of reductive evolution. Among them, Mycoplasmopsis bovis (M. bovis) is one of the major causative patho...
Organisms in the Mycobacterium-avium-intracellulare complex, found throughout the environment, are a particular threat for patients with advanced AIDS. Genus Nocardia contains dozens of species that cause disease in animals. In humans, Nocardia organisms are opportunistic pathogens affecting children, the...
