Selective susceptibility to poorly pathogenic mycobacteria, such as bacille Calmette—
Guérin vaccine and environmental non-tuberculous mycobacteria, has long been suspected …

Selective susceptibility to weakly pathogenic mycobacteria, such as bacillus Calmette-
Guérin (BCG) vaccine and environmental non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), has long …

A genetic component to human mycobacterial disease susceptibility has long been
postulated. Over the past five years, mutations in the interferon-γ (IFNγ) receptor, IL-12 …

Mendelian susceptibility to poorly virulent mycobacteria such as bacillus Calmette-Guerin
(BCG) and environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria is a clinically heterogeneous …

Individuals with impaired cell mediated immunity exhibit increased susceptibility to infections
caused by poorly pathogenic mycobacteria (non-tuberculous mycobacteria and BCG), as …

Genetic factors have long been suspected of determining susceptibility and resistance to
mycobacterial infection. The recent identification of families with a unique susceptibility to …

Background Genetic differences in immune responses may affect susceptibility to
mycobacterial infection, but no specific genes have been implicated in humans. We studied …

Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is characterized by a selective
predisposition to clinical disease caused by the Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine and …

Mendelian susceptibility to poorly virulent mycobacterial species, such as bacillus Calmette-
Guérin (BCG) and environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), is a phenotypically …

Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare syndrome conferring
predisposition to clinical disease caused by weakly virulent mycobacteria, such as …
