Differences in risk factors and drug susceptibility between Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare lung diseases in China

Highlights • Mycobacterium intracellulare was the most common nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species in China. • Mycobacterium intracellulare and Mycobacterium avium differed in their drug susceptibility profiles. • Clinical cases of M. intracellulare lung diseases were more likely to be found in...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Mycobacterium intracellulare was the most common nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) species in China. • Mycobacterium intracellulare and Mycobacterium avium differed in their drug susceptibility profiles. • Clinical cases of M. intracellulare lung diseases were more likely to be found in the aged population and in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) co-morbidity.
