Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Environmental Water Samples with New Culture Media

Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Isolated from Environmental Water Samples with New Culture Media

Special Pathogens Laboratory conducted the first study of new RGM culture media to recover Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) from environmental water samples. Previously used for clinical recovery for NTM, this study shows that RGM is the most effective media to isolate these waterborne pathogens from potable and non-potable water sources paving the way for greater detection and prevention.

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are an increasingly frequent cause of pulmonary disease, particularly in individuals with predisposing conditions such as cystic fibrosis. Find out why NTM a waterborne pathogen of growing concern. Learn about a new method for recovery of NTM from water samples, resulting in a highly simplified culture method and an increased yield of NTM.
