Gut microbiota dysbiosis-related susceptibility to nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease
11 Jun 2024
Abstract excerpt
The role of gut microbiota in host defense against nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD) was poorly understood. Here, we showed significant gut microbiota dysbiosis in patients with NTM-LD. Reduced abundance of Prevotella copri was significantly associated with NTM-LD and its disease severity. Compromised TLR2 activation activity in feces and plasma in the NTM-LD patients was highlighted. In the...
