The mycobacteriology of non-tuberculous mycobacteria

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2004
The genus Mycobacterium consists of >50 species that have been associated with human disease. Mycobacterium are categorised into M. tuberculosis and NTM that are also subdivided into rapid growers and non-rapid growers. Five major clinical syndromes have been described that are attributable to mycobacterium.

Drug Resistance by Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria

2009
Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium species (NTMs) are considered opportunistic pathogens as they cause disease in animals as well as in susceptible humans. Infections can vary from asymptomatic nodules to chronic, debilitating lung and skin infections.

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria and mycobacteriosis

Epidemiology and Infectious Diseases, 2011
The data available in the literature and the results of trials conducted at the Moscow City Center for Tuberculosis Control suggest that non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTMB) and its induced pathology (mycobacterioses) are a serious health problem today.

Prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria in a hospital environment

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2007
In recent years, non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have emerged as an important cause of opportunistic nosocomial infections but there is little known about the isolation and identification of NTM in Korea. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of NTM in the hospital environment and identify the species.

Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria. An Emerging Threat?

Archivos De Bronconeumologia, 2017
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolates are becoming more common. The main objective of our study was to establish the number and diversity of NTM species in our region and their distribution according to the source sample, age and gender of the patients, and to analyse clinically significant isolates.Prospective study of all NTM isolated in ...

Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria: Classification, Diagnostics, and Therapy

2016
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are species other than those belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and do not cause leprosy. NTM are generally free-living organisms that are ubiquitous in the environment. There have been more than 140 NTM species identified to-date.

Tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacteria

Abstract Tuberculosis remains a major global health issue and a high level of clinical vigilance is required. It has a range of clinical manifestations, ranging from latent to active disease. Pulmonary tuberculosis typically presents with chronic cough, fever, night sweats, and weight loss.
