Species Distribution and Isolation Frequency of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria, Uruguay

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) increasingly are recognized as opportunistic pathogens of humans. NTM species distribution is well documented in Europe and North America, but data from other regions are scarce. We assessed NTM isolation frequency and species distribution in Uruguay during 2006–201...

Sumario:Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) increasingly are recognized as opportunistic pathogens of humans. NTM species distribution is well documented in Europe and North America, but data from other regions are scarce. We assessed NTM isolation frequency and species distribution in Uruguay during 2006–2018.
