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.
