The Impact of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Species on Mortality in Patients With Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Lung Disease

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD) have increased mortality. The impact of NTM species on the risk of mortality remains unclear, especially that of death by non-cancer causes.

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
