Minimal Inhibitory Concentration of Clofazimine Among Clinical Isolates of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria and Its Impact on Treatment Outcome

Nakwon Kwak et al.

Summary: Clofazimine MIC values varied widely in clinical isolates from NTM-PD patients, and negative conversion of sputum culture with clofazimine use was associated with lower MIC values. Clofazimine use could be considered in patients with NTM-PD when the MIC value is <= 0.25 mg/L.

Managing Mycobacterium avium Complex Lung Disease With a Little Help From My Friend

David E. Griffith et al.

Summary: Management of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease is complex and often unsuccessful. Treatment involves considerations such as antibiotic management, surgical intervention, and microbiologic recurrences. The process may be uncertain, but most patients have favorable outcomes with patience and close attention.

First line treatment selection modifies disease course and long-term clinical outcomes in Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease

Kiyoharu Fukushima et al.

Summary: The standard regimen of rifamycin + ethambutol + macrolides proves to have superior outcomes in treating MAC-PD patients, while alternative regimens may lead to sputum non-conversion, treatment failure, and emergence of clarithromycin resistance. Various factors such as older age, male gender, comorbidities, and certain laboratory markers were found to be associated with mortality risk in these patients.
