The news here is that they have found so far, mavintramycin A works on a certain strain of NTM in silkworms, and on M. avium implanted in mice.

These are very preliminary steps that look promising, but typically at this stage we are 5 - 10 years from an new therapy - let's hope it works out!

Thanks so much for elaboration Sue! Yes that is some hope in the coming 10 years!! The technology - gene editing is also on the way. I remember that when I was 10, I never know there is laser surgery for shortsightedness. After 10 years, it is so effective for everyone. Hopefully same for NTM treatment!
