Clinical isolates of Mycobacterium avium complex reveal an M. intracellulare-associated IL-17/neutrophilic pulmonary immune program in a murine disease model

The paper investigates immune responses to different Mycobacterium avium complex isolates in mice, finding that M. intracellulare induces a distinct IL-17/neutrophilic immune program compared to M. avium.

Analysis of publicly available genomic data

This study identifies genomic mutations associated with ethambutol resistance in Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare using clinical isolates and publicly available genomic data.

Strain-dependent disease progression and necrotizing granuloma formation induced by virulent Mycobacterium avium complex strains in a murine model

This study evaluates strain-dependent disease progression and necrotizing granuloma formation in a murine model of MAC-PD using five clinical MAC strains.

Concentration-dependent suppression of macrolide resistance in Mycobacterium avium by combination therapy: an improved in vitro time-kill assay and PK/PD modelling study

This study quantifies how combination therapy with concomitant drugs suppresses macrolide resistance in M. avium using improved time-kill assays and PK/PD modeling.
