Nontuberculous mycobacteria, represent a "burgeoning medical challenge" that may cause significantly greater healthcare spending and patient suffering in the United States and Canada than does tuberculosis (TB). 1 Although TB rates are decreasing in historically low numbers in North American, NTM cases are rising.1
