Tap Water Avoidance Decreases Rates of Hospital-Onset Pulmonary Nontuberculous Mycobacteria.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2020
We analyzed the impact of a hospital tap water avoidance protocol on respiratory isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). After protocol implementation, hospital-onset episodes of respiratory NTM isolation on high risk units decreased from 41.0 to

Redefining Therapies for Drug‐Resistant Tuberculosis: Synergistic Effects of Antimicrobial Peptides, Nanotechnology, and Computational Design

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 14, 10 April 2026.
Antimicrobial peptide (AMP)‐loaded nanocarriers provide a multifunctional strategy to combat drug‐resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By enhancing intracellular delivery, bypassing efflux pumps, and disrupting bacterial membranes, this platform restores phagolysosome fusion and macrophage function.

Serial and Parallel Testing Strategies for Johne's Disease: Effects on Milk Production Traits and Milk Income on New Zealand Dairy Cattle

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
The suboptimal accuracy of current diagnostic tests necessitates alternative testing strategies to improve the detection of Johne's disease. We studied parallel and serial testing strategies to quantify the association between milk production and Johne's disease status. For this, two commercial Johne's disease Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay, ELISAs,

Emerging role of metagenomic next‐generation sequencing in infectious disease diagnostics: Clinical integration and future directions

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 148-163, April 2026.
Abstract Infectious disease diagnostics has been transformed by metagenomic next‐generation sequencing (mNGS), an unbiased approach that detects bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in a single assay. By sequencing all nucleic acids in a sample, mNGS overcomes the narrow detection scope and slow turnaround of conventional tests, substantially ...

Diagnostic and Clinical Value of Targeted Next‐Generation Sequencing for Pediatric Respiratory Infections in Northern China

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 4, April 2026.
A total of 1209 patients with suspected respiratory tract infections (RTIs) who underwent targeted next‐generation sequencing (tNGS) were screened at Qingdao Huangdao District People's Hospital, Qingdao, China, from April 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. Of these, 940 patients were enrolled in the study.

Efflux Pump Inhibitors against Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Over the last years, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as important human pathogens. Infections caused by NTM are often difficult to treat due to an intrinsic multidrug resistance for the presence of a lipid-rich outer membrane, thus ...
