Scoop- I asked Dr. Falkinham the other day about MAC on neb cups and Aerobika and this was his information emailed to me in response.
"Some years ago we received Aerobika nebulizers to identify methods to disinfect the devices. The idea was that NTM were able to attach to the interior walls and grow, ultimately forming a biofilm. The biofilm could permanently expose the user to NTM. We’ll put first experiments showed that NTL cells did not attach to the interior surfaces of the Aerobika nebulizers.
Therefore, we didn’t continue any disinfection measurements." Joe
