Article Abstract

Clarithromycin (CYP inhibitor) can be used instead of azithromycin for nontuberculous mycobacteria therapy in patients requiring CYP substrates to mitigate rifampin's CYP induction. We found no differences in adverse events (10/13 vs 14/17;  = .73), drug intolerability (1/5 vs 4/11;  = 1), or 90-day mortality (0/13 vs 1/17;  = 1) in patients receiving clarithromycin vs azithromycin.

KasA and KasB are promising drug targets against and infectious nontuberculous mycobacteria, while most lead compounds are in the preclinical development stage. Herein, a platensimycin (PTM) analogue library consisting of 340 members was first screened to identify 46 PTM thioethers with superior activity compared to that of PTM against . Next, 19 PTM thioethers were chosen and semisynthesized from PTM oxirane (), together with seven PTM ether derivatives and 6-ido, 6-bromo-, and 6-thiocyanato PTM.

Objectives: Disseminated nontuberculous mycobacterial disease (dNTMd) remains a rare but serious complication in people living with HIV (PLWH). This study aimed to assess whether dNTMd independently contributes to delayed CD4-cell recovery following antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation.

Methods: This retrospective 1:3 single center case-control study analyzed patient data from 2004 to 2023.

Unlabelled: This study aimed to investigate the epidemic status and distribution characteristics of drug-resistant in Urumqi. From January 2019 to July 2024, all sputum culture-positive strains were collected in Urumqi. Using the traditional solid-state proportion method for drug-sensitivity testing, we determined the resistance of to first-line antituberculosis (TB) drugs.
