Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2021
AbstractNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous in the environment and 193 species of NTM have been discovered thus far. NTM species vary in virulence from benign environmental organisms to difficult-to-treat human pathogens. Pulmonary infections remain the most common manifestation of NTM disease in humans and bronchiectasis continues to be a

Nontuberculous mycobacteria

2008
This chapter focuses on nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), organisms that are ubiquitous in the environment and are thus referred as “environmental mycobacteria” by some experts. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), which includes M. kansasii, M. fortuitum, and M. abscessus, is the most common NTM associated with human disease in the United States.

Outbreaks of nontuberculous mycobacteria

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2017
Purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to summarize the emerging literature on nontuberculous mycobacteria outbreaks in healthcare settings. As our ability to identify mycobacterial species develops, we are better able to recognize epidemiologic connections and better understand the prevalence and importance of these outbreaks and pseudo ...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1997
The nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), especially Mycobacterium avium complex, are being recognized with increasing frequency as clinical pathogens, not only as a cause of disseminated disease in patients with AIDS but also as a cause of chronic lung disease in patients without AIDS. These infections have traditionally been difficult and frustrating to

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2001
The nontuberculous mycobacteria are for the most part ubiquitous environmental organisms that only rarely cause disease in humans. Therefore, the normal host defense against these organisms must be quite robust, as exposure is universal and disease is rare.

Der Hautarzt; Zeitschrift fur Dermatologie, Venerologie, und verwandte Gebiete, 2018
Dermatologically relevant nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) include Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium ulcerans and different rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM). RGM are widely present in the environment and are facultative pathogenic. Diagnostic detection of nontuberculous mycobacteria is frequently challenging.
