Temperature and pH growth preferences predict the pathogenicity and environmental distributions of nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]
mSystemsThe genus Mycobacterium is highly diverse, and in addition to Mycobacterium tuberculosis, it includes many other pathogenic and non-pathogenic taxa which are collectively referred to as the nontuberculous mycobacteria. Although a subset of nontuberculous

Identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria isolated from household showerheads of patients with nontuberculous mycobacteria [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 This study aimed to examine whether nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) inside household showerheads are identical to those in patients with NTM-pulmonary disease (PD) since household water is one of the potential NTM sources. Samples were obtained from 32
