Acidic pH Restricts Non‐Tuberculous Mycobacteria Replication

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Different nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species display unique replication profiles in acidic pH in vitro which correlates to their replication within human macrophages. Inhibition of the acidic environments within the macrophage enhances bacterial viability emphasising the role of acidic pH during NTM infections.
