AB  - Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are increasingly isolated from respiratory cultures, but distinguishing true pulmonary disease from colonization remains challenging. This study evaluates whether meeting ATS/IDSA diagnostic criteria for NTM pulmonary disease is associated with mortality and identifies factors that may modify this risk in adults (≥18 years) with NTM-positive respiratory specimens collected during 2005–2006.
