NTM Lung Disease Research

Research has been instrumental in discovering the geographical locations where nontuberculous mycobacteria are prevalent, as well as the environments where they’re most active. Namely, they are prevalent on the coast, but it may affect individuals living in any region or environment. We also know that NTM bacteria, especially MAC, proliferate in steamy environments within our homes. MAC bacteria also thrive naturally in the soil.

While NTM lung disease presents many challenges, your healthcare team will support you throughout diagnosis, treatment, and daily management. Do not shy away from seeking help and support from your loved ones.
