Abstract
Recommendations for first-line and second-line drug testing and organism group, specific methodologies, and reporting recommendations have been addressed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and are important in the selection of appropriate antimicrobial treatment regimens for nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) disease. This review also includes recent information on new antimicrobials proposed for the treatment of NTM but not yet addressed by the CLSI and molecular (gene sequencing) methods associated with the detection of antimicrobial resistance of two major therapeutic antimicrobials, clarithromycin and amikacin.Entities:
