Non-tuberculous mycobacteria Environmental mycobacteria found in soil, dust, water, food and other animals around the world. Although they are simply defined in contrast to the mycobacteria that cause tuberculosis and leprosy, a few species are recognized as human pathogens by themselves and the incidence of human infections has increased in recent decades.

Diagnosis is based on suspicious clinical indicators, the collection of specimens suitable for culture in specialized media, and is complemented by currently evolving molecular technologies. Treatments often include surgical debridements and complex multidrug regimens that are performed over months, especially in children underlying respiratory or immune disorders. Controlled clinical trials to identify the optimal combination of mycobacterial drugs used by such patients are urgently needed to treat these emerging infectious diseases
