Mycobacterium Details: NCBI 1763, high G+C gram-positive [genus]

| Mycobacterium| Mycobacterium Lehmann and Neumann 1896 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Gupta et al. 2018

1. Pathogenic Mycobacteria:

   • Mycobacterium tuberculosis: Causes tuberculosis (TB), a respiratory disease that primarily affects the lungs. It is a significant global health concern.
   • Mycobacterium leprae: Causes leprosy, a chronic infectious disease that affects the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes.

2. Non-pathogenic or Opportunistic Mycobacteria:

   • Many Mycobacterium species are part of the normal microbial flora in the environment, water, and soil.
   • Some mycobacteria can be opportunistic pathogens, causing infections in individuals with compromised immune systems.

3. Beneficial Mycobacteria:

   • Mycobacterium vaccae: Known for its potential immunomodulatory effects, it has been studied for its possible role in alleviating symptoms of certain inflammatory conditions.
   • Mycobacterium indicus pranii (MIP): Investigated for its immunotherapeutic potential and studied in the context of leprosy and tuberculosis.

4. Environmental Mycobacteria:

   • Mycobacteria are widespread in the environment and can be found in water sources, soil, and dust.
   • Some non-pathogenic environmental mycobacteria may have roles in bioremediation and other ecological processes.

5. Medical Importance:

   • Mycobacteria are characterized by their unique cell wall structure, which includes mycolic acids.
   • Diagnosis and treatment of mycobacterial infections often require specialized approaches, and certain mycobacteria may exhibit resistance to standard antibiotics.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Mycobacterium

• Frequency - how often do samples show this bacteria
• UD - An alternative statistical algorithm (which factors in the frequency)
• Kaltoft-Moldrup Heuristic Using uploaded data
• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 2 Standard Deviation to Mean + 2 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples (Patent Pending)
