NTM disease most often affects the lungs in adults, but it may also affect any body site. Person-to-person transmission of NTM disease is very uncommon, in contrast to transmission of tuberculosis (Mycobacteria tuberculosis), which is common. The number of people with NTM disease is increasing worldwide.

Pulmonary infections due to nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly recognized worldwide.

Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary infections nontuberculous mycobacteria ntm Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease is an infection caused by bacteria that are common in the environment. They are aerosolized, which means that they exist in water and soil particles that are in the air and breathed in. People can get NTM lung disease when they breathe in the bacteria. What Is Nontuberculous Mycobacterial (NTM) Lung Disease nontuberculous mycobacteria ntm Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are Mycobacteriaceae species that can cause the onset of illness in humans.
