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

Outbreaks of nontuberculous mycobacteria
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2017Purpose of review The 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 ...

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.

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

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.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2021Purpose of review Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are challenging infections among people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) as the source, modes of transmission, and best practices for diagnosis and treatment are not known. Investigators have defined aspects of NTM infection that are unique to the CF population, as well as features

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in cystic fibrosis
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2002The incidence of NTM pulmonary infections increasingly is recognized in patients with CF. This may reflect the increasing longevity of this population with increased environmental exposure time, a high index of suspicion, and/or some as of yet unidentified predisposing factor(s). The most common species of NTM in CF is MAC, followed by M.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria in the environment
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2002It is likely that the incidence of infection by environmental opportunistic mycobacteria will continue to rise. Part of the rise will be caused by the increased awareness of these microbes as human pathogens and improvements in methods of detection and culture.
