Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are caused by mycobacterial species other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and they frequently lead to chronic pulmonary and extrapulmonary infections. These infections are difficult to diagnose and treat due to their diverse clinical presentations and resistance to standard antibiotics. Pulmonary NTM infections are especially common in individuals with underlying lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current treatment options are limited, highlighting a significant need for more effective therapies.

- Type-specific cases
- Severity-specific cases
NTM Infections Epidemiology
In 2023, the prevalence of NTM infections in the 7MM exhibited notable trends:
- In the United States, there were approximately 108,000 diagnosed prevalent cases.
- Of these, 68% were female and 32% were male.
- Among the diagnosed population, 86,000 had pulmonary NTM infections, while 22,000 had extrapulmonary infections.
