I don't understand why more research hasn't been done to kill this bacteria since it isn't so rare anymore !!!! Drs don't seem to care about the person it's affecting but are only treating a disease .My four Infectious disease Drs couldn't care less about my weight ,appetite or me as a human just about the disease .I'm at the end of my rope with pill after pill making me feel worse than ever !! They really should have waited for me to try to put some weight back on as I will die of cachexia not ntm !!!.

I agree. It is hard to believe that no treatment can be found that doesn’t make you sicker than the disease itself .
Perhaps there is not enough incentive for it since it mostly is appearing in the elderly .
