Background The burden of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease (PD) is increasing globally. To understand the treatment outcomes and prognosis of NTM-PD, a unified registry is needed. In this project, we aim to construct a multicenter prospective observational cohort with NTM-PD in South Korea (NTM-KOREA). Methods The primary objecti...

Treatment for cutaneous infection from Mycobacterium abscessus is fraught with poorly established evidence. Given its antibiotic multi-resistance, surgical intervention is often recommended. We report a case of cutaneous M. abscessus infection that was successfully managed with medical therapy alone. A 55-year-old immunocompetent woman from the Bel...

The pathogen Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) is the most common cause of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease worldwide. The decision to initiate long-term antibiotic treatment is difficult for the physician due to inconsistent disease progression and adverse effects associated with the antibiotic treatment. The prognostic factors for t...

The $\textit{Mycobacterium abscessus}$ species complex (MABSC) consists of three subspecies, $\textit{M. a. abscessus}$, $\textit{M. a. massiliense}$ and $\textit{M. a. bolletii}$. All three of these subspecies are capable of causing opportunistic pulmonary and skin and soft tissue infections in immunocompromised individuals. Infections caused by t...

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous organisms that are generally found not only in the natural environment but also in the human engineered environment, including water, soil, and dust. These organisms can form biofilms and can be readily aerosolized because they are hydrophobic owing to the presence of the lipid-rich outer membrane. A...

Previous UK studies investigating nontuberculous mycobacteria have been limited to reporting isolation from culture, not burden of disease. We assessed the burden of nontuberculous mycobacterial disease (NTMD) in UK primary care from 2006 to 2016. Using electronic healthcare records, we identified patients with NTMD using a strict definition includ...

During the last two decades, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have gained in importance but there is still a paucity of data, particularly for environmental isolates. We studied, over a period of two years, the spatio-temporal features of NTM isolates obtained from different environmental sources in Wardha district, India. A total of 1398 samples ...
