Article Abstract
In a 1:4 case-control matched analysis of data from a nationwide population-based cohort in South Korea, we evaluated whether metformin use mitigates the risk of nontuberculous mycobacterial disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Multivariable analysis revealed no significant association of metformin use with a diminished risk for incident nontuberculous mycobacterial disease in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objectives: Disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial disease (dNTMd) remains a rare but serious complication in people living with HIV (PLWH). This study aimed to assess whether dNTMd independently contributes to delayed CD4-cell recovery following antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation.
Methods: This retrospective 1:3 single center case-control study analyzed patient data from 2004 to 2023.

Introduction: Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are environmental pathogens found in soil, water, and various environments, causing chronic pulmonary infections. They are resistant to chlorine and extreme temperatures but not typically transmissible. NTM infections are often misdiagnosed as tuberculosis (TB), especially in Ethiopia, where data on prevalence is scarce.

Objective: This study aimed to establish a multiplex molecular point-of-care assay called incorporating an ultra-fast sample pre-treatment for direct identification of complex (MTBC) and 8 non-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) commonly prioritized in clinical settings, and to evaluate its performance in 149 clinical confirmed mycobacterial-positive samples.
Methods: The study was divided into two stages: a pilot study to establish the methodology and a clinical validation study to evaluate its performance. In the pilot study, we established the and analyzed its performance regarding limits of detection, reproducibility, specificity and efficiency.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized as important opportunistic pathogens, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. We discovered a newly identified NTM, initially misidentified as Mycobacterium paraffinicum, isolated from a 42-year-old female with an eight-year history of persistent pulmonary infection. The pathogen shares high molecular similarities with Mycobacterium paraffinicum, Mycobacterium nebraskense, and Mycobacterium scrofulaceum, exhibiting atypical acid-fast properties and slow growth.
