TL;DR: It is proposed that the detection of the rpoB Ile491Phe rPOB mutation should complement commercial assays for the diagnosis of rifampicin-resistant M. tuberculosis in routine conditions, particularly in countries where this specific mutation is frequent.

TL;DR: RGM medium increases the proportion of interpretable results and the number of NTM cultured, and can replace current approaches for the screening of N TM among people with CF, taking into account the non-inferiority compared to conventional methods and ease of use of RGM medium.

TL;DR: The species diversity of NTM found in the setting suggests the importance of the use of new modern methods for accurate identification of N TM at species level and in some case at subspecies level for the proper treatment and management of patients.

TL;DR: The results obtained in this study confirm that bedaquiline MIC decreased in the presence of EPIs verapamil and reserpine in clinical isolates of M. abscessus.

TL;DR: The case of an HIV-1 positive patient presenting with severe NTM infection who benefited from a novel rapid diagnostic technique, based on the direct sequencing of the rpoB gene from smear-positive clinical samples, is reported.
