Phage-mediated TLR2 signaling attenuates intracellular Mycobacterium abscessus survival in macrophages

Abstract excerpt

The incidence of pulmonary infections caused by M. abscessus (MAB) is on rise globally. Despite susceptible infections, long-term, and combinational treatment, patients respond to MAB therapy only partially with low success rates. In recent years, therapeutic phages have been used in combination with antibiotics to enhance treatments for patients suffering with drug-resistant, chronic, and disseminated...
