Punicalagin Enhances Autophagy Through Sirtuin 1/FoxO3a Axis to Inhibit Intracellular Mycobacterium Abscessus Infection

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Punicalagin, a pomegranate molecule, helps the body fight Mycobacterium abscessus. It preferentially boosts interstitial macrophages in the lung, stabilizing mitochondria and switching on the autophagy via SIRT1/FoxO3a, which lowers bacterial load without directly killing bacteria.

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

Challenges in optimizing tacrolimus therapy in patients treated with rifampin: A case series

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Tacrolimus is a cornerstone immunosuppressant in transplantation medicine with a narrow therapeutic window. Drug–drug interactions with strong CYP3A4 and P‐glycoprotein modulators, such as rifampin and azole antifungals, significantly alter tacrolimus exposure and complicate therapy. Two transplant cases illustrates the impact of rifampin on tacrolimus
