AB  - Several  terms—nontuberculous  mycobacteria  (NTM),  atypical  mycobacteria,  mycobacteria  other  than  tuberculosis,  and  environmental  mycobacteria—all  refer  to  mycobacteria  other  than  Mycobacterium  tuberculosis,  its  close  relatives  (M.  bovis,  M.  caprae,  M.  africanum,  M.  pinnipedii,  M.  canetti),  and  M.  leprae.  The  number  of  identified  species  of  NTM  is  growing  and  will  continue  to  do  so  because  of  the  use  of  DNA  sequence  typing  for  speciation.  The  number  of  known  species  currently  exceeds  150.  NTM  are  highly  adaptable  and  can  inhabit  hostile  environments,  including  industrial  solvents.
