‘”Why me, why now?” Using clinical immunology and epidemiology to explain who gets nontuberculous mycobacterial infection [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease is rising. An understanding of known risk factors for disease sheds light on the immunological and physical barriers to infection, and how and why they may be overcome.

In vitro activity of bedaquiline against rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2017
Bedaquiline (BDQ) has been proven to be effective in the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. We hypothesized that BDQ could be a potential agent to treat nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection. The objective of this study was to evaluate
