Complete genome assembly of Hawai'i environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria reveals unexpected co-isolation with methylobacteria.
Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are ubiquitous environmental opportunistic pathogens that can cause chronic lung disease. Within the United States, Hawai'i has the highest incidence of NTM lung disease, though the precise reasons are yet to be fully elucidated. One possibility is the high pre...
