DOI: 10.1007/s00408-020-00371-0
Abstract: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease (NTM-pd) commonly complicates bronchiectasis. However, clinical and radiological features of NTM-pd and bronchiectasis are very similar. We aimed to develop a radiologic prediction tool for bronchiectasis to identify NTM-pd. We reviewed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bjm.2016.09.009
Abstract: Although infections with NonTuberculous Mycobacteria have become less common in AIDS patients, they are important opportunistic infections after surgical procedures, likely because they are ubiquitous and not efficiently killed by many commonly used disinfectants. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.plabm.2018.e00107
Abstract: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are composed of mycobacterial species other than the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Initially thought to be mere contaminants when isolated from clinical specimens, literature is increasing by the day showing NTM as proven… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.9b01945
Abstract: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are frequently found in chloraminated drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) due to their chloramine tolerance. NTM were investigated in the water-main biofilms and drinking water of a chloraminated DWDS in the United… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/zph.12754
Abstract: Non‐tuberculous mycobacteria are of public health significance, and zoonotic infection is attributed to the sociocultural practice of consumption of raw milk and the close human–livestock contact in pastoral communities. This study aimed at isolation, identification… read more here.

DOI: 10.12688/f1000research.124002.5
Abstract: Background: Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) treatment constitutes a macrolide-based antibiotic regimen in combination with aminoglycosides for Rapid-Growing Mycobacteria (RGM), and rifampicin for Slow-Growing Mycobacteria (SGM). Mutations in the anti-NTM drug target regions promote NTM evolution to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0265358
Abstract: Background While most Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are saprophytic, several species have been associated with human diseases, from localized infection to disseminated diseases. Pulmonary NTM infections lead to TB-like disease called NTM pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). Due… read more here.

DOI: 10.20344/amp.10932
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are ubiquitous organisms. Precise determination of infection numbers is difficult, since reporting them to public health departments is frequently not mandatory; furthermore, isolating a non-tuberculous mycobacteria does not necessarily translate into disease. The aims… read more here.
