The diagnosis of diseases caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is difficult, because NTM are prevalent in the environment such as soil and water, and because they have fastidious properties. In this study we investigated clinical isolates of NTM for their distribution pattern and accurate species identification.
