Non-tuberculous mycobacteria immunopathogenesis: Closer than they appear. a prime of innate immunity trade-off and NTM ways into virulence.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The growing incidence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) and changes in epidemiological factors have indicated that immune dysregulation may be associated with the emergence of NTM. Minireview entails to acknowledge complex interaction and new ways NTM are evolving around diverse immune status.

Methods

In order to perform this review, we selected peer reviewed, NLM database articles under the terms NTM, mycobacterium complex 'AND' -Host- immune response, immunity regulation, Disease, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP´s), and -pathogen- followed by a snow ball rolling basis search on immune components and NTM related with diseases distribution.

Results

The universal exposure and diversity of NTM are well-documented; however, hospitals seldom establish
