Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections, a noncontagious cousin of tuberculosis, has shown a marked increase in the U.S. population in recent years. Many NTM patients also develop bronchiectasis, a condition that inhibits the ability to naturally clear mucus and bacteria from the airways and puts individuals at everincreasing risk of infection.
