DOI: 10.1016/j.jctube.2021.100268
Abstract: Optimal management of infection with mycobacterial species requires accurate identification down to complex/species level due to variations in outcomes. Over the last few decades, there have been significant advances in laboratory diagnostics with development of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bcr-2018-226900
Abstract: We present the case of a 14-year-old immune-competent girl with ventriculoperitoneal shunt who was repeatedly hospitalised with meningeal signs despite repeated shunt revision surgeries. Eventually Mycobacterium fortuitum was isolated and the patient improved after specific… read more here.
