DOI: 10.1080/19490976.2022.2073132
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.
