Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs)
possess several characteristics that make
them attractive as a potential adjunct
therapy for acute and chronic infectious
diseases. MSCs are well known for their
impressive immunomodulatory, prorepair effects and clinical safety
profile, however, the efficacy of MSCs
in controlling bacterial infections, at least
directly, remains unclear.
Mycobacterium avium complex pulmonary disease (MAC-PD) is a chronic condition driven by multi-drug resistant bacteria
for which there are no robust efficacious
treatment strategies.
