DOI: 10.1165/rcmb.2018-0278oc
Abstract: Comparisons of infectivity among the clinically important nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species have not been explored in great depth. Rapid-growing mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium abscessus and M. porcinum, can cause indolent but progressive lung disease. Slow-growing members… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms21124351
Abstract: The incidence and prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections are steadily increasing worldwide, partially due to the increased incidence of immunocompromised conditions, such as the post-transplantation state. The importance of proper diagnosis and management of… read more here.
