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

open access: yes, 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.

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria in Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Treatment Options in Infectious Diseases, 2016
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are found in approximately 10 % of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, but only a portion will develop NTM disease. The management of CF lung disease should be optimized, including antibiotic therapy targeted to the individual's usual airway bacteria, prior to considering treatment for NTM lung disease.
