Epidemiology of and risk factors for extrapulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in Northeast Thailand [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection is increasing worldwide. Current epidemiological data and knowledge of risk factors for this disease are limited. We investigated the trends in and risk of NTM infection in Northeast Thailand during

Nontuberculous mycobacteria infection and pulmonary disease in bronchiectasis

ERJ Open Research, 2022
Background Although interest in nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infection has increased in the last decades, published data vary according to different geographical areas, diagnostic facilities and quality of study design.

Isolation of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from household water and shower aerosols in patients with pulmonary disease caused by NTM [PDF]

, 2013
It has been postulated that susceptible individuals may acquire infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from water and aerosol exposure. This study examined household water and shower aerosols of patients with NTM pulmonary disease.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease epidemiology in Taiwan: A systematic review

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2020
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are critical emerging global infectious pathogens. Though NTM can be mere colonizers when isolated from human specimens, NTM are also responsible for diverse human infections. NTM–lung disease (NTM-LD) is the most common

Pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacteria in colonisation and disease in The Gambia

Scientific Reports, 2022
The clinical relevance of pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacteria (PNTM) in The Gambia is unknown. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in colonisation, and the burden of clinically relevant pulmonary ...

Non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease: progress and advances in the development of novel candidate and repurposed drugs

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are opportunistic pathogens that can infect all body tissues and organs. In particular, the lungs are the most commonly involved organ, with NTM pulmonary diseases causing serious health issues in patients with ...

Cystic fibrosis airway microbiota associated with outcomes of nontuberculous mycobacterial infection

ERJ Open Research, 2021
Rationale Pulmonary infections with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly prevalent in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Clinical outcomes following NTM acquisition are highly variable, ranging from transient self-resolving infection to NTM ...

Clinical relevance and diagnosis of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease in populations at risk

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2020
The lungs are the most common disease site of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). However, the isolation of NTM in a respiratory specimen does not indicate lung disease (LD). Differentiation between NTM colonization and NTM-LD remains challenging. In this

Mycobacteriosis in Pigs – An Underrated Threat

Acta Veterinaria, 2016
Although Mycobacterium avium subspecies are generally not considered food pathogens, the infections caused by these particular nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) can represent a serious threat to immunocompromised population. Additionally, infections with
