Nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM PD) may be chronic, requiring lengthy and complex regimens over many months to years. After treatment, patients are often reinfected, with disease recurrence. NTM PD prevalence was estimated at 86,000 cases in the United States in 2010, surpassing pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), which was 9,272 in 2016 and declining; multiple studies in different US and Canadian populations have indicated increasing prevalence since the mid-1990s (1). Increasing prevalence of NTM PD has also been documented in Australia, Asia, and Europe (2). Clinical care standards (3) would benefit from controlled clinical trials. To identify critical gaps in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of NTM PD, the National Institute of Allergy and InfectiousDiseases convened a workshop on September 26, 2017, bringing together diverse experts in mycobacterial disease. This report summarizes the key questions in host–pathogen interactions, molecular epidemiology and diagnostics, and vaccine/therapeutics. These key focus areas may help guide biomedical research efforts into this growing concern.
