Recommended for targeted testing of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in drinking water. Mycobacteria can grow in drinking water distribution systems and cause disease in humans. There has been a rise in nontuberculous mycobacteria detections–particularly in hospitals and other health-care offices–due to heater cooler units required during operations.
There are also over 170 mycobacterium species commonly found in the environment and in drinking water sources, including: M. avium (MAC), M. fortuitum, M. gordonae, M. kansasii, and M. xenopi.
