  • Abstract

    Non-tuberculosis mycobacteria (NTM), as certain species of mycobacteria, can affect human in several ways. In the preceding years, the rate of NTM detection has risen in both immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients. On the other hand, several reports have debated the possibility of co-infection of both Mycobcateriu tuberculosis (MTB) and NTM in individuals that puts the role of NTM in disease manifestations under question. Moreover, it is now proven that some of the cases that are identified as anti-TB treatment failure or suspected for drug resistance are actually NTM.
