Abstract
The identification of NTM species and the detection of their MICs have certain guiding values for the treatment of NTM lung disease.Key MessageThe three most common respiratory non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) isolates with clinical significance in the Wenzhou area were tested for drug susceptibility. The broth microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration distribution of antibacterial drugs and the susceptibility of NTM isolates to provide a reference basis for the clinical selection of an effective starting regimen.
