Consequences of Climate Change on the Emergence of Pathogenic, Environmentally Acquired Nontuberculous Mycobacteria

These data support the notion that NTM prevalence may be heavily augmented by climate change resulting in expansion into new geographic niches and posing new clinical consequences for humans.
