Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). This includes two related species: mycobacterium avium and mycobacterium intracellulare. MAC is by far the most common type of NTM in the U.S.
This similarity prompted the researchers to investigate how fungi in these bogs fight Mycobacterium species, the same bacterial genus that includes Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB ...
To find compounds that could kill Mtb, a research team led by the NIH’s Clifton Barry, Ph.D., grew about 1,500 fungi species collected from sphagnum peat bogs in West Virginia and Maine ...
