Abstract: ABSTRACT Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary diseases (NTM-PDs) are emerging as global health threats with issues of antibiotic resistance. Accumulating evidence suggests that the gut–lung axis may provide novel candidates for host-directed therapeutics against various infectious diseases.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1165/rcmb.2019-0324ed
Abstract: One of the key characteristics that distinguish mycobacteria from other bacteria is the lipid richness of their cell wall, which can comprise up to 60% of the cell mass, compared with 20% in gramnegative bacteria… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-020-6738-2
Abstract: Background Nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species are ubiquitous microorganisms. NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is thought to be caused not by human-to-human transmission but by independent environmental acquisition. However, recent studies using next-generation sequencing (NGS) have reported… read more here.
