DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-65933-x
Abstract: The anti-interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) autoantibody is a known cause of opportunistic non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection in adults. Diagnosis of those patients is difficult due to the low sensitivity of bacterial culture, and because detection of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cid/cix996
Abstract: Background Interferon-γ neutralizing autoantibodies (nIFNγ-autoAbs) are reported in patients with disseminated nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection and may function by increasing the infection risk. Notwithstanding, the prevalence of nIFNγ-autoAbs as well as the clinical presentation, diagnosis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msphere.00104-22
Abstract: Host risk factors for nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection in people with cystic fibrosis (CF) are largely unclear. The goal of this study was to help identify potential host and bacterial community risk factors for NTM… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/thoraxjnl-2017-210983.52
Abstract: Background Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection is more prevalent in those with bronchiectasis than the general population. In addition, Pseudomonas is frequently isolated in more severe bronchiectatic disease. We interrogated our non-CF bronchiectasis database to identify… read more here.
