Thus, current treatment regimens for NTM-LD are largely based on small case series, retrospective analyses, and guidelines based on expert opinions. It has been nearly 10years since the publication of a consensus guideline for the treatment of NTM-LD. This review is a summary of the available...
Because the present cases did not have these risk factors and often contacted soil with their hands, a diagnosis of NTM was preferred to TB. According to present therapeutic guidelines for NTM infection, an antimycobacterial regimen is best based on NTM species and drug-susceptibility tests. ...
Although the TST is useful in clinical practice, it has several known limitations, including variable specificity, cross-reactivity with BCG vaccine and non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection, and problems with reliability [4–6]. Because of advances in molecular biology and genomics, for the...
Thirdly, the application of EVs in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases were introduced. At present, the heterogeneity, biological composition and the formation mechanism of EVs need to be further studied, so that it can be better applied in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The ...
Pulmonary NTM infection (pNTMi) was defined using 2020 NTM guidelines and patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether guideline criteria for pNTMi were met. Demographic, microbiologic, and clinical characteristics were compared between groups. Results A total of 813 isolates from 225 ...

NTM from a microbiological sample is in fact a contaminant or a pathogenic organism. In this review, we discuss the important mycobacteria involved in lung disease, factors that predispose individuals to infection, and their diagnosis and treatment according to updated guidelines. English language ...
guidelinesmacrolidesomadacyclinetedizolidtigecyclineNon-tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) are a group of organisms whose importance in medicine seems to be increasing in recent times. The increasing number of patients susceptible to these diseases make it necessary to expand our knowledge of therapeutic options...
Although well-established international guidelines are available, treatment of NTM disease is mostly empirical and not entirely successful. In general, the treatment duration is much longer for NTM diseases, compared to TB, and resection surgery of affected organ(s) is part of treatment for patients...
abscessus requires the combination of multiple costly antibiotics for months, with potentially significant toxicity associated with treatment. Although international guidelines for the treatment of NTM infection in CF are available, there are a lack of robust pharmacokinetic studies in CF patients to ...
