Differential Immunogenicity and Lung Disease-Inducing Potential of <i>Mycobacterium immunogenum</i> Genotypes and Impact of Co-Exposure with Pseudomonas: Optimizing a Mouse Model of Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

Differential Immunogenicity and Lung Disease-Inducing Potential of <i>Mycobacterium immunogenum</i> Genotypes and Impact of Co-Exposure with Pseudomonas: Optimizing a Mouse Model of Chronic Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis

<i>Mycobacterium immunogenum</i> (MI) colonizing metalworking fluids (MWFs) has been associated with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) in machinists. However, it is etiologically unclear why only certain mycobacteria-contaminated fluids induce this interstitial lung disease. We h...
