A global survey of mycobacterial diversity in soil

2019-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Mycobacterium is a diverse bacterial genus ubiquitous in many soil and aquatic environments. Members of this genus have been associated with human and other animal diseases, including the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), which are of growing relevance to public health worldwide. Although soils are often considered an important source of environmentally-acquired NTM infections, the biodiversity and ecological pre...
