“…Changes in the porin may interrupt the drug transportation into the cell and support cell survival. Since this porin is present in fast growing mycobacteria, it would be of significance in the treatment of atypical pathogenic mycobacteria including M. abscessus studied here [30].…”

“…The full texts of the remaining 38 records were read in full; 19 articles were excluded-seven because of the absence of a control group, one because of the small sample size (<6 NTM-positive patients), and 11 because of the lack of data on risk factors. A total of 19 studies 5,12,19,20,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] were finally included (Figure 1), totaling 23 418 patients, of whom 1421 (6%) patients were diagnosed as NTM positive.…”

“…Ten studies were conducted in Europe, 19,25,[27][28][29][30]32,33,35,37 seven in North America 5,12,24,26,34,36,38 and two in the Middle East 3,20 ( Table 1). Among the seven case-control studies, five were matched on age and sex, 19,24,27,29,32 one on respiratory function, 39 and one on cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutation. 19 Thirteen studies included consecutive patients, and four studies were prospective.…”

“…In patients with CF, NTM sputum positivity has increased from 1.3% in 1984 to 13% in 2017 [19]. Patients with NTM suffer from a more rapid decline in pulmonary function than control patients without NTM although coinfections with SA and Aspergillus may be to blame [20]. Compared to Mycobacterium avium complex, Mycobacterium abscessus complex (MABSC) is more difficult to eradicate and more likely to lead to death or lung transplantation [21].…”
