• Participants were asked to identify up to three symptoms that have the most significant impact on daily life:
• Chronic cough or coughing up blood, phlegm, and sputum mentioned by majority as being the most significant symptom
• Fatigue ‐ descriptions ranged from feeling “tired to your core” to “walking through molasses”
• Nearly half identified shortness of breath as one of their most significant symptoms and for most, the severity had a major impact on their daily life and overall health

Conclusions: Initial WES Analysis
• PNTM patients & “unaffected” family members• More variants in CF, cilia, & connective tissue genes vs. controls• Overlapping bronchiectasis & connective tissue disease features
• More immune variants only seen in PNTM affected • Whole exome data support
• “Susceptible persons” model of PNTM disease• Increased frequency of “mild” mutations from relevant gene categories increases risk of bronchiectasis and NTM infection

Summary
• Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is recommended for macrolides (clarithromycin) and amikacin
• A three drug macrolide‐containing regimen is administered for 12 months beyond culture conversion
• Three times weekly therapy for noncavitary disease• Daily therapy for cavitary disease
• Amikacin liposome inhalational suspension (ALIS) is recommended for treatment refractory MAC• Patient education, active monitoring, and management strategies can improve
tolerance and adherence• Treatment outcomes in macrolide resistant MAC remain poor – need
new drugs• Surgery may be helpful in selected cases

Treatment refractory considerations
What do we do if someone is still persistently culture + on therapy?
My patient had hearing loss on
amikacin, a rash on cefoxitin and will
never take tigecycline again,
now what?
I cannot get clofazimine because I don’t have an IRB. Linezolid caused neuropathy and insurance won’t
cover bedaquiline…
