Atypical Mycobacterial Infection is any infection caused by a species of mycobacteria that does not result in classical tuberculosis. NTM are found in the soil, air, and water, so you can get an infection from swimming, gardening, or breathing air with NTM. (which do not cause tuberculosis) can be initiated when an individual comes into contact with the pathogen either through inhalation, or via cuts, abrasions, and wounds on skin, Signs and symptoms of Atypical Mycobacterial Infections vary, depending on the type of species causing the infection.
