The European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress 2019, held in Madrid, Spain, provided a platform for invigorating discussions and exciting new research in the field. This article explores approaches being taken to combat NTM-PD with a focus not only on novel prevalence and risk factor data, but also on emerging antimicrobials and their routes of delivery, and other potential treatment options in early clinical development.Emerging research provides an insight into future treatment approaches for nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) – a serious, chronic, infectious disease that often presents in patients with underlying respiratory disease https://bit.ly/31spZpE
