Specificity of Immunoglobulin Response to Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infection in People with Cystic Fibrosis

Specificity of Immunoglobulin Response to Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Infection in People with Cystic Fibrosis

ABSTRACT Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections are increasingly prevalent in chronic lung diseases, including cystic fibrosis (CF). Mycobacterium abscessus is of particular concern due to relatively greater virulence and intrinsic antimicrobial resistance. Airway culture identification, the s...
