Genetic Diversity of Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria among Symptomatic TB negative Patients in Kenya
2021-10-29
Abstract excerpt
Non-Tuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) transmission to humans occurs through inhalation of dust particles or vaporized water containing NTM leading to pulmonary manifestations. NTM infections are often misdiagnosed for tuberculosis (TB) due to their similar clinical and radiological manifestations. We, therefore, performed a species-level identification of NTM in symptomatic TB negative patients through sequencing of...
