01

Overview

Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are a diverse group of bacteria within the genus *Mycobacterium* that do not cause tuberculosis (*Mycobacterium tuberculosis*) or leprosy (*Mycobacterium leprae*). NTM are ubiquitous in the environment and can cause a range of infections, particularly in individuals with pre-existing lung conditions or weakened immune systems. Treatment is challenging due to antibiotic resistance and requires prolonged multi-drug regimens.
