Genomic and microbiological analyses of iron acquisition pathways among respiratory and environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria from Hawai’i

Abstract excerpt

As environmental opportunistic pathogens, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) can cause severe and difficult to treat pulmonary disease. In the United States, Hawai’i has the highest prevalence of infection. Rapid growing mycobacteria (RGM) such as Mycobacterium abscessus and M. porcinum and the slow growing mycobacteria (SGM) including M. intracellulare subspecies chimaera are common environmental NTM species and...
