Clinical findings in relation to mortality in non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections : patients with Mycobacterium avium complex have better survival than patients with other mycobacteria [PDF]

, 2015
We compared the clinical findings and survival in patients with Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) and other non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). A total of 167 adult non-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) patients with at least one positive culture for ...

Pulmonary Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare is the main driver of the rise in non-tuberculous mycobacteria incidence in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, 2007–2012 [PDF]

, 2016
BACKGROUND: The incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolation from humans is increasing worldwide. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland (EW&NI) the reported rate of NTM more than doubled between 1996 and 2006.

The Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α- Agonist Gemfibrozil Promotes Defense Against Mycobacterium abscessus Infections

Cells, 2020
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) shows promising potential to enhance host defenses against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. Herein we evaluated the protective effect of PPARα against nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections.
