Interesting study from @elipner, Rebecca Prevots, et al., showing NTM infection risk is associated with constituents levels in local water.

Which naturally occurring water constituents may influence #NTM infection risk? Ettie Lipner, Rebecca Prevots et al find that vanadium and sulfate are positively associated with #Mycobacterium #avium complex infections, and molybdenum with M. #abscessus. nih.gov/news-events/news-rel…
