Abstract: Background Nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) species are ubiquitous microorganisms. NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is thought to be caused not by human-to-human transmission but by independent environmental acquisition. However, recent studies using next-generation sequencing (NGS) have reported… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2020.00399
Abstract: Patient infections with Non-tuberculous Mycobacterium (NTM) have been attributed to some reusable medical devices (1, 2), such as heater cooler devices (3–5), dental unit waterlines (6), bronchoscopes (7), and automated endoscope reprocessors (8, 9). Such… read more here.
