DiscussionThe role of the environment in human NTM acquisition remains a hot topic among those in the NTM community and those who endure these infections. There will likely be no single, globally applicable checklist of equally important defining environmental determinants associated with NTM pulmonary disease emergence. However, regional and worldwide climatic and environmental factors will determine NTM diversity and personalize risk for infection to each location. As such, pulmonary diseaseSummaryNTM resilience in diverse environments ideally positions these opportunistic pathogens as formidable public health challenges and warrants innovative and equitable management solutions to reduce infections. 128 Future studies should focus on moving beyond retrospective studies or single snapshots in time studies to favor prospective, longitudinal studies and increased disease surveillance to exponentially improve our ability to forecast environmental features that promote or reduce environmental
