Potential for nontuberculous mycobacteria proliferation in natural and engineered water systems due to climate change: A literature review

Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections are costly, difficult to treat, and increasing in prevalence. Given this, there is a desire to understand the potential relationships between NTM in water sources and climate change stressors. To address this need, a critical literature review was performed. Connections were made between NTM fate and transport, climate change, engineering decisions, and societal changes, and uncertainties...
