TLDR
A snapshot of NTM species distribution demonstrates that the species distribution among NTM isolates from pulmonary specimens in the year 2008 differed by continent and differed by country within these continents.Abstract:
A significant knowledge gap exists concerning the geographical distribution of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) isolation worldwide. To provide a snapshot of NTM species distribution, global partners in the NTM-Network European Trials Group (NET) framework (www.ntm-net.org), a branch of the Tuberculosis Network European Trials Group (TB-NET), provided identification results of the total number of patients in 2008 in whom NTM were isolated from pulmonary samples. From these data, we visualised the relative distribution of the different NTM found per continent and per country. We received species identification data for 20 182 patients, from 62 laboratories in 30 countries across six continents. 91 different NTM species were isolated. Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) bacteria predominated in most countries, followed by M. gordonae and M. xenopi. Important differences in geographical distribution of MAC species as well as M. xenopi, M. kansasii and rapid-growing mycobacteria were observed. This snapshot demonstrates that the species distribution among NTM isolates from pulmonary specimens in the year 2008 differed by continent and differed by country within these continents. These differences in species distribution may partly determine the frequency and manifestations of pulmonary NTM disease in each geographical location.read more

TL;DR: The model indicates that decreasing the incarceration rate in people who inject drugs and providing opioid agonist therapy could reduce the burden of HIV in this population of prisoners.

TL;DR: Recommendations and recommendations on what samples should be used to detect pulmonary non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection and how to define lung disease attributable to NTM infection are presented.

Microbiological features and clinical relevance of new species of the genus Mycobacterium.
TL;DR: In this paper, approximately 50 new species described in the last 8 years are reviewed, and their role in human infections is assessed on the basis of reported clinical cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Update on pulmonary disease due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria
TL;DR: A diagnosis of NTM pulmonary disease does not necessarily imply that treatment is required; a patient-centered approach is essential; a multidrug therapy based on appropriate susceptibility testing for the species in question should be used.

TL;DR: A recurring observation is the increase in rates of infection and disease, which may be caused by any of several contributing factors, and the possibility exists that the apparent increase is either spurious or less significant than studies would suggest.
