Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence and incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) pulmonary diseases in Germany from 2016 to 2020, using data from 22 NTM laboratories.
- Researchers found that the incidence and prevalence of NTM remained stable over the five-year period, despite variations in species and drug susceptibility testing (DST) rates.
- An increase in the proportion of NTM with DST suggests improved awareness and reporting, but current levels still fall short of clinical needs.
In recent years, unsupervised analysis of microbiome data, such as microbial network analysis and clustering, has increased in popularity. Many new statistical and computational methods have been proposed for these tasks. This multiplicity of analysis strategies poses a challenge for researchers, who are often unsure which method(s) to use and might be tempted to try different methods on their dataset to look for the "best" ones.
